Deputy Inspector Namık Kemal Baz stated that the suspects underwent medical checks during their initial detention period. He added that 15 people had been questioned in connection with the case, with statements obtained from 12 individuals.

Baz reported that WhatsApp messages on Canseç’s phone revealed he sent tender-related documents to a businessperson and requested money. Canseç’s office computer has been seized as evidence, and both suspects’ phones were sent to the data unit for examination. Efforts are also underway to restore backups from Canseç’s phone.

Highlighting the risk that the suspects could interfere with the investigation if released, Baz requested the additional seven days of detention.

The judge ruled that Canseç and Arman remain in custody for seven more days.

They face charges of bribery, accepting money in exchange for favoritism, and abuse of office.
