🇬🇧 English

This is a formal financial audit decision (mali denetim kararı) issued by Turkey's Constitutional Court (Anayasa Mahkemesi) on 25 December 2025, under case number E: 2022/29 and decision number K: 2025/116. The Constitutional Court holds exclusive authority under Article 69 of the Turkish Constitution and the Law on Political Parties (No. 2820) to audit the annual revenues, expenditures, and assets of political parties receiving treasury aid or meeting parliamentary thresholds. The case, filed in 2022, concerns the financial accounts of a political party subject to mandatory constitutional oversight. The Court examines whether the party's income sources, campaign finances, and expenditures comply with constitutional and statutory requirements, including prohibitions on receiving funds from foreign sources, state enterprises, or associations. Financial audit decisions of this type result in the Court either approving the accounts, requesting additional documentation, or — in cases of serious violations — initiating dissolution proceedings or ordering the forfeiture of treasury subsidies. The 2025 decision (K: 2025/116) represents the Court's final ruling on the 2022 audit cycle for the relevant party. Note: The full operative text of the decision was not included in the submitted document. This analysis is based on the case classification 'Siyasi Parti Mali Denetimi' and established Constitutional Court audit procedures under Turkish law.
