🇬🇧 English

The Turkish Constitutional Court (Anayasa Mahkemesi) issued Decision No. K: 2025/107 on 25 December 2025 in Case E: 2022/2, pertaining to the financial audit of political parties (Siyasi Parti Mali Denetimi). The Court exercises its constitutional mandate under Article 69 of the Turkish Constitution and Law No. 2820 on Political Parties to examine the annual income, expenditure, and asset declarations of registered political parties. The proceeding, initiated in 2022, culminated in a final ruling after a multi-year review of party financial records and compliance with transparency obligations under Turkish political finance law. The Court assessed whether the audited parties' income sources, campaign financing, and expenditures were lawful and duly declared. Decisions of this nature may result in findings of compliance, warnings, partial or full forfeiture of Treasury-funded public financial assistance (hazine yardımı), or in the most severe cases, referral to dissolution proceedings. The December 2025 ruling signals the completion of the audit cycle for the relevant fiscal year(s) under review.
