Lightning: We Will Firmly Continue Our Fight Against Those Who Profit from Fake Documents

The Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mehmet Şimşek, stated, "We will resolutely continue our fight against those who obtain unjust gains, especially by creating fake documents, by effectively utilizing artificial intelligence technologies."

Minister Şimşek, speaking via X, added: "We are disclosing those who owe over 5 million TL in tax to the state. We are taking all necessary actions to collect these receivables and assisting taxpayers in difficult situations who intend to pay their debts through installment plans. However, as a result of our Revenue Administration's follow-up, it has been determined that unfortunately, 88% of the 36,806 taxpayers listed have either gone bankrupt or have no assets, even if there is no bankruptcy decision against them. These debts, which date back many years, will remain in the state's legal records until they expire. We will continue our efforts against those who obtain unjust gains through the creation of fake documents with determination, utilizing artificial intelligence technologies as well."
