Özet:

The Covid-19 epidemic, which emerged at the end of 2019 and affected the whole world, caused not only the death of many people, but also negativities in the world economy. The disruptions in production and logistics due to the epidemic affected the public and private sectors, and the interruption of production by the factories caused supply shortages and price increases. According to experts, global inflation remains high for longer than expected, increasing the likelihood of recession in many countries. Processes such as economic bottlenecks, inflation and recession lead to an increase in unemployment and an increase in crime rates. Crimes such as theft, looting and fraud increase especially in such periods. As a matter of fact, as of 2021, these three crimes took their places in the statistics as the most committed crimes in Türkiye. The crime of fraud to the detriment of public institutions is regulated in article 504/4 of the Turkish Penal Code (TPC) numbered 765, and in article 158/1-e of the Turkish Penal Code. The subject of the crime aimed at protecting the public treasury and the other conditions sought for the perfection of the crime are the same as for the simple fraud crime. In terms of this crime, it is seen that the discussions especially focus on the nature of cheating and aggregation.
