Umut Yılmaz resigned from CHP and was acquitted of corruption allegations. This development has caused a significant stir in Gaziantep.

The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office stated that there was no need for further prosecution due to insufficient evidence in the investigation against Yılmaz. He was acquitted of charges of tampering with a tender and abuse of office.

During the investigation, allegations surfaced that the municipality sold some properties below their value. However, expert reports disproved these claims.

Umut Yılmaz's connections with companies associated with the municipality were also scrutinized. However, no incriminating communications were found during the investigations.

CHP council members also provided statements. It was noted that the accusations against Yılmaz were not supported by concrete evidence.

The Gaziantep 1st Criminal Court of Peace ruled that the charges against Yılmaz were invalid. This situation raises questions about how it will affect Yılmaz's political career.
