An İstanbul court has partially lifted trustee supervision over eleven poultry companies investigated for alleged price manipulation and anti-competitive behavior. The İstanbul 5th Penal Court of Peace ruled in favor of objections filed by seven of the thirteen companies initially targeted in the probe. This decision effectively reduces government oversight of these businesses, which had been placed under trustee control during the investigation. The court’s action suggests a shift in the legal proceedings, though the investigation itself remains ongoing. No details were provided regarding the reasons for lifting the supervision on these specific companies. The remaining two companies still remain under trustee supervision. The case centers on accusations of coordinated efforts to artificially inflate poultry prices.
