Anti-Corruption Authority: Why is the Report on the 'State Mafia' Book Delayed?

The Independent Authority Against Corruption has issued a statement regarding the delay in issuing the final Investigation Report on the book 'State Mafia'. The delay is due to health problems experienced by two Inspection Officers involved in drafting the report. The Authority emphasizes that the delay is not due to political reasons, but to real difficulties that arose due to the health conditions of the officers. Also, one of the officers has been appointed to the Public Service, but the appointment has been postponed until April 2026. The Authority assures that the report will be submitted before April 2026 and will be thoroughly examined, and a detailed announcement will be issued on the results of the investigation. The report is expected to be lengthy due to the large volume of testimonial material. The Authority seeks to ensure transparency and accountability in conducting the investigation, despite the challenges that have arisen. It acknowledges the questioning of institutions and asks society to show patience and judge the Authority objectively based on its overall work.
