Under the name of tax audits, the Investigative Department has run another business. This is what I warned about in my speech to the National Assembly. The investigative and SRC have become the new punitive couple of the government (the National Security Service should also listen there).

What is happening to businessmen and businesses today has long been beyond the limits of law, law or economic logic. Allegedly, on the suspicion of hiding taxes, they close the doors of businesses and paralyze their activities, but they do not go to “checks” for months. Of course, there was no substantial answer to the questions.

The SRC and the Investigative Committee have turned from state institutions into tools that serve one person’s whims and political revenge. As a result, the constitutional labor rights of hundreds and thousands of citizens are violated.

Bringing the state apparatus and power structures against one’s own people and economy will have a very clear legal and political assessment tomorrow (at least you understand it well). You will be judged, gentlemen.
