Over 1.7 billion liras were transferred to 29 companies and 7 sole proprietorships. Investigators found that some high-value expenditures lacked corresponding goods or services.

In Kocaeli's Derince district, authorities inspected an Ahbap facility and found 895 packaged 16-square-meter tents and 600 portable beds. Officials noted deformation and packaging damage on several stored items due to long-term storage.

Financial reviews also revealed an expenditure of 125 million liras for six trailers through eight transactions. A suspect testifying under effective repentance provisions stated that they never took delivery of those trailers.
