On January 18, 2024, civilian traffic teams affiliated with the Istanbul Police Department Traffic Inspection Branch Directorate conducted an operation in Şişli and Beşiktaş to catch individuals who were illegally demanding fees from drivers for parking their vehicles on the streets. As a result of the operation, three suspects named EB, SA, and MA were caught red-handed.
The suspects had been attempting to collect parking fees from vehicles in the parking lots on the highway without proper permission from the authorized administration. Legal proceedings have been initiated against the detained suspects on the grounds of illegally attempting to collect parking fees.
Furthermore, one of the suspects was fined 3 thousand 135 lira for physically blocking and preventing drivers who did not want to pay the illegal fees from parking. The swift action by the Traffic Inspection Branch Directorate serves as a reminder that illegal activities related to parking will not be tolerated and that legal measures will be taken against those who attempt to exploit drivers in this manner.
