Kastamonu housing fraud complaint

Overview

The Sönmez family, who lost their home to a fire in the Daday district of Kastamonu in May 2025, has filed a criminal complaint against a contractor, H. İ. K., for alleged fraud.

The family reports that after the fire, they entered a 700,000 TL agreement with the contractor to build a new home on land provided by the Daday District Governor's Office. Despite paying an initial 500,000 TL, the family claims no construction has commenced approximately one year after the agreement. Consequently, the five family members have been residing in tents and a single-room container for roughly 1.5 years. The Kastamonu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has been notified regarding the failure to complete the construction and the refusal to refund the paid amount.
