Following the operation against the white meat sector, remarkable evaluations were made in the AKP lobbies. Party sources argued that the investigation into companies whose boards of directors included AKP members revealed that food inflation was caused by market actors, not government policies, and commented, "Erdogan did not even give privileges to names close to him." However, some of the supervisory trustees appointed to 13 companies within the scope of the operation began to be removed by court decision.
