A significant development has occurred in the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB). Fire Department Chief Remzi Albayrak was detained as part of an investigation into Bayrampaşa Municipality.

On Saturday morning, teams from the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Unit conducted an operation that resulted in the detention of Albayrak and three others. Among those detained were Bekir Önder from the CHP Bayrampaşa District Management, businessman İbrahim Amedi, and driver Hakan Köse.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office stated that the detained individuals are being investigated for charges of embezzlement, bribery, and related offenses. A request for judicial control was made for Albayrak and the other suspects.

These developments highlight the importance of financial regulations and oversight within the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. IBB Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu emphasized the need for transparency in this process.
