Eyyüp Kadir İnan accuses Özgür Özel of bribery

AK Party Secretary General and Izmir Deputy Eyyüp Kadir İnan has leveled serious allegations against CHP Chairman Özgür Özel during a party meeting in Konak, Izmir. İnan accused Özel of accepting bribes from Mustafa Sarıgül and various municipal candidates, citing specific claims involving luxury items and large sums of cash.

İnan stated that the party would fight on two fronts: against those targeting the nation's savings through fund-related corruption and against the alleged bribery involving Özel. He emphasized that no political position is superior to justice or the rights of the people.

In a separate political development, Yeni Parti Izmir Provincial Chair Çağatay Güç criticized AK Party Izmir Provincial Chair Bilal Saygılı regarding the Basmane Çukuru urban development project. Güç questioned the consistency of the AK Party's stance, noting that previous party leaders had described high-rise construction in the area as a dagger to the heart of Izmir.
