Another article, procedure has been launched with 7.53 euros, contracts have been linked 4 months later to 34.92 euros, up 364%, Ismaili has declared.

So planning is criminal. Criminal. So, you start a procedure, three months later you give me 364% fraud. That tells you, give you a duty, Minister. So that SKKUK’s director, how can you get out of here and launch the board and get away from there. Or otherwise, silence, defense. Negative on this action. He’s responsible for you too. And I’m putting you in charge today. However, if there is negligence and silence, the moment will come when I am directly responsible. For a system that’s abusing, and it’s bleeding in terms of financial aspect, he said.
