Journalist Ibrahim Haskologlu revealed chat records involving Ferdi Karadoruk, president of the Istanbul branch of the Turkish Referees Association (TFFHGD), who was detained in connection with the investigation.

According to the revelations, Ferdi Karadoruk communicated with someone listed in his contacts as "Emre Ağa İHK" regarding referee lists and examinations. On December 20, 2024, Emre sent a list, and Ferdi identified four names, writing: "Remove these four people," "If it's not crooked, cut off their heads," and "Control here is in my hands personally, hand it over to us." Emre responded: "Be careful, don't rush to remove them yet."

In communications regarding the December 21, 2024 examination, Emre asked: "Can we let them score high?" Ferdi said: "The written exam focus is in the book, what are you looking at?" Emre said: "I have no idea," and Ferdi replied: "I've handled the video, but the written exam is too open." On December 22, after sending a deleted video, Ferdi wrote: "I always have a Plan B, brother," and two minutes later, "Everyone will score 100 points."

On December 24, 2024, Emre said: "Radio Sports also pointed me out, talking about exam questions." Between December 21-22, Ferdi said: "When you first mentioned them in 2018, didn't the kids turn off the announcements one by one, and didn't we call them one by one, you and I?" and "This list is very critical." He also claimed that someone within the committee was leaking information, specifically naming "Çaylak and Yusuf," saying that if they weren't on the committee and didn't take pictures of the list, Emre could insert someone else. Ferdi also stated: "No revolution happens without bloodshed," and "If the committee isn't purged, more stories will be written." Emre replied: "Ferdi, some things don't need proof, that's your style. We nurture these young people because they have potential, that's why we present them. But you should stay away from these matters and maintain a social level," and "There are no traitors in my committee."

On December 22, 2024, Ferdi said: "This year, I haven't asked you for anyone's match even once. Didn't you tell me you only monitor, and if there's something, you speak with Sertaç and me?" On December 24 and 27, Emre sent photos saying: "I've also approved these, the list is fine," to which Ferdi said to someone: "If it were me, I wouldn't agree," and Emre said: "Keep it." On December 27, Ferdi requested that a referee be removed, and Emre said: "Keep him, we can't remove him now, we've already approved it."

On December 28, 2024, Ferdi stated: "Someone at the MHK is deceiving Ahmed Ağa, they're betraying him," and added: "After the rankings are announced, you, me, and Sertaç Ağa will go see him, and we'll explain together... that he authorizes you to intervene whenever something goes wrong during the season." He also said: "Please also include Alican in preparing the rankings." On January 2, 2025, Ferdi sent a photo of the list, saying: "We've made a revolution in Istanbul," and "By the grace of Allah, we've buttoned the first button correctly." Emre responded: "Over two names, you criticize a perfectly good list, and this slaps you in the face too."

The document provides only contact list nicknames. In TESPIT-11, Ferdi first wrote: "I asked Kosif," and then "I asked Emre Ağa for the third time" about the same matter. This strongly points to Emre as the detained Provincial Referees Committee president, Emre Kosif, but it is not explicitly established in the document. Without numerical confirmation, definitive statements cannot be made. "Ahmed Ağa" could be MHK Vice President Ahmed Şahin, but the surname is not in the document and remains unconfirmed.

Today, Ibrahim Haskologlu also published initial information and allegations regarding the investigation into Turkish football's refereeing system. Under an investigation initiated by the Antalya Chief Prosecutor's Office and transferred to the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office due to jurisdictional issues, statements from complainants and witnesses, expert reports, telecommunications records, and MASAK financial records were reviewed. According to the investigation file allegations: some referees were excluded from rankings without objective and reasonable justification; some referees were systematically not assigned matches while others received preferential treatment; interference occurred in the referee scoring and assignment process; irregular changes were made to referee and observer lists prepared in 2022 and 2024; and during the rules examination held in Riva in 2025, exam questions and the grading process were compromised, and some referees' scores were altered.

The individuals named in the investigation and their respective criminal charges include: MHK President Ferhat Gündoğdu: harassment and document forgery by a public official; MHK Member Sebahattin Şahin: harassment and document forgery; MHK Vice President Ahmet Şahin: document forgery, allegedly acting with Ferhat Gündoğdu to provide exam questions to specific individuals; former MHK Member Yunus Yıldırım: harassment and illegal acquisition of personal data; Istanbul branch president of the Referees Association Ferdi Karadoruk: accused of pressuring non-member referees and observers, accused of harassment, misconduct, and breach of trust (embezzlement); Alican Sağlar: WhatsApp communications were allegedly found on Ferdi Karadoruk's phone—which was being examined in a separate investigation—between two individuals discussing the determination of referee lists.

The investigation document establishes that the allegations are supported by statements from complainants and witnesses, while evidence related to document forgery allegations is reflected in expert reports. The allegations presented are in the investigation phase and do not constitute a final judicial ruling.
