The 2011 Turkish Sports corruption scandal was an investigation about match fixing, incentive premium, bribery, establishing a criminal organization, organized crime and intimidation in Turkey's top two association football divisions, the Süper Lig and First League with a still on-going trial. On 2 July 2012, a Turkish special-authorized state court sentenced many people to various prison sententences. However, on 6 March 2014, special-authorized courts was abolished in Turkey. On 23 June 2014, an earlier retrial demand was accepted, meaning that all convicted people will have a retrial. The retrial process started on 15 January 2015.

Timeline of the investigation

In the summer of 2011, Turkish police began an investigation into 19 football matches suspected of being fixed, and by 10 July 61 individuals had been arrested, including club managers and Turkish national players. 26 of these would later have requests for release refused by the court. By 12 July UEFA had confirmed they were monitoring the situation.

Around the same time, Istanbul BB player İbrahim Akın admitted to participating in match fixing, specifically relating to two matches: Istanbul’s match against Fenerbahçe, and the Turkish Cup final against Beşiktaş JK. Following his arrest Akın withdrew his confession, claiming he had been tricked and his confession given under duress, and denied any involvement in the alleged corruption. Beşiktaş president Yıldırım Demirören later returned the Turkish Cup following match-fixing allegations levelled at his own club.

The investigation continued with the questioning of Fenerbahçe Official Murat Özaydınlı, Fenerbahçe Administrative Manager Hasan Çetinkaya, İBB Spor player Can Arat and former referee and ex-Gençlerbirliği official Zafer Önder İpek. Another round of questioning followed, with Fenerbahçe player Emre Belözoğlu, former Beşiktaş lawyer and journalist Sinan Engin, Ankaragücü player Kaan Söylemezgiller, manager Ekrem Okumuş and journalist Tahir Kum all interviewed. Dozens more would ultimately be questioned in the course of the investigation.

On 15 August, The Report of the TFF's Ethics Committee, presented to the general assembly of the TFF. The First Report of the TFF's Ethics Committee (340 pages) completely hidden from public scrutiny and FIFA and UEFA. But, summary section of the report (38 pages) leaked to the press. Prof.Dr.Oguz Atalay, chairman of the committee, confirmed that document published in the press is the actual document.

The TFF banned Fenerbahçe from participating in the 2011–12 Champions League, with UEFA announcing that Trabzonspor would replace them.

In September, former Karabükspor president Feridun Tankut and former Rizespor player Koray Avcı were both questioned, either as suspects or witnesses, as part of the investigation. The TFF decided that they would rule on the recipient of the 2010–11 title as soon as possible.

Many members of the European football community voiced their concerns about the situation, with UEFA president Michel Platini saying how the match-fixing scandals had “badly tarnished the game” and that the developments were "not good for Turkish football". FIFA president Sepp Blatter also had his say, stating "We cannot intervene at the first stage; we must let the jurisdictional organization of the different states , and when these people are condemned and found guilty, then we will suspend them for life. ... Then they will never come back to football – being officials or being players, they will be banned for life".

On 31 January 2012, President of the Turkish Football Federation Mehmet Ali Aydınlar (previous sponsor of Fenerbahçe's volleyball team) Vice Presidents of TFF Göksel Gümüşdağ (chairman of İstanbul BB) and Lütfü Arıboğan (who then became Galatasaray board member) resigned from all duties.

On 30 April 2012, Turkish Football Federation changed the article 58 of disciplinary regulations regarding the penalization of match-fixing. In response to the TFF' s decision, Trabzonspor announced that they will make a meeting with the UEFA as soon as possible. Galatasaray SK reacted against the TFF' s decision and made a statement regarding the issue. Bursaspor also reacted against the decision. On the same day, Turkish Football Federation added a new article to the disciplinary regulations that all punishments including relegation, point-deduction can be postponed, Article 105.

On 3 May 2012, Galatasaray SK applied to the TFF Arbitration Board to suspend and annul the decision regarding the amendment on the Article 58 and Article 105 of disciplinary regulations of TFF.

On 4 May 2012, Trabzonspor and Bursaspor also applied to the TFF Arbitration Board to suspend and annul the decision regarding the amendment on the Article 58 and Article 105 of disciplinary regulations of TFF.

On 5 May 2012, Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Board, rejected the appeals and the objections from the clubs.

On 7 May 2012, Turkish Football Federation has given a verdict for the people involved with the case:

The federation banned İbrahim Akın of İstanbul Buyukşehir Belediyesi SK for three years for allegedly fixing the result of a match when his team lost to Fenerbahçe SK 2–0 on 1 May 2011. It also banned Serdar Kulbilge of Gençlerbirliği for two years for allegedly attempting to fix the result of a match that Fenerbahçe SK won 4-2.

It said eight other people, including Fenerbahçe SK officials Mehmet Şekip Mosturoğlu, İlhan Yüksel Ekşioğlu, Cemil Turhan and Yavuz Ağırgöl received with a disciplinary measure called "depravation of rights" which amounts to barring a person from any administrative or sports activities, including entering the stadiums. However, this disciplinary measure can be postponed according to the new article 105 which has been designed by Turkish Football Federation recently.

On 1 June 2012, specially-authorized İstanbul Public Prosecutor Ufuk Ermertcan demanded from the İstanbul 16th High Criminal Court to hand down jail sentences for the suspects as part of an investigation into match-fixing scandal. The İstanbul 16th High Criminal Court rejected lawyers’ request to release Fenerbahçe SK President Aziz Yıldırım, Olgun Peker, Fenerbahçe official İlhan Ekşioğlu and Yusuf Turanlı. The court also ruled to release Ahmet Çelebi, Ali Kıratlı, Haldun Şenman, Sami Dinç and İbrahim Bülent İşcen, who were in custody, pending trial. The court hearings will be resumed on 26 June.

On 4 June 2012, the Arbitration Board of Turkish Football Federation reduced the penalties for three suspects in a match-fixing scandal while upholding the sentences of other suspects. The arbitration board reduced Akın’s sentence from three years to two years and Kulbilge’s sentence was reduced from two years to three matches. Karan was given two years deprivation of rights by the PFDK, but the Arbitration Board changed his sentence into a two-year ban from participating in future games.

On 22 June 2012, UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body made a decision:

- To allow the Diciplinary Inspector and Fenerbahce to file additional submissions to the Control and Diciplinary Body
- For the time being the club of Fenerbahce is allowed to participate in the UEFA competition for which it is eligible pending a final decision of the UEFA Diciplinary Body in this regard.

After Fenerbahce's official complaint, on 27 June 2014, UEFA Control and Disciplinary Board launched a new investigation against Trabzonspor and will decide about the case on July 17. UEFA asked for Trabzonspor's defense about this investigation.
