Receivership lifted for seven poultry firms amid pricing probe
Authorities have revoked receivership orders for seven of 13 poultry companies placed under state supervision during a widening investigation into alleged price manipulation and anti-competitive practices.
Measures were lifted on June 16 for Gedik Piliç, Erpiliç and Keskinoğlu, and on June 17 for Banvit, As Piliç, Lezita, Ak Piliç, Bupiliç, Şenpiliç and Aypi Piliç, according to court decisions cited in the investigation.
The companies were placed under receivership following a June 12 operation spanning eight provinces, where prosecutors issued arrest warrants for 32 people, including senior executives, accounting managers and board members in the poultry sector.
Twenty-nine of those detained were later released under judicial control conditions, including travel bans.
