LOVE OF CARS
Erbaş’s “love of vehicles” came to the fore for the first time in 2020. BirGün’s news included the following:
The luxury vehicle, purchased by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality for 1.5 million TL during the AKP period, was allocated to the Istanbul Provincial Mufti’s Office for the use of the muftis in the city. It was stated that the vehicle, which was learned to be an Audi A8 Long brand, was also used by the President of Religious Affairs, Ali Erbaş, during his trips to Istanbul. Allegedly, President of Religious Affairs Erbaş, who liked the vehicle worth 1.5 million TL, wanted the vehicle to be towed to Ankara. The vehicle was sent back to IMM after the municipality changed hands in the local elections on March 31, 2019.
