Abstract
In a regular free market economy, the prices of goods and services occur at the point where the quantities of supply and demand get up with one another. On the other hand, it can be in question the distortion of this equilibration by various purposes and practices. In this case, optimal goods and services cannot be received under optimum conditions. As a conclusion of “ultima ratio” principle in the criminal law, every illegal conduct in this context does not constitute a crime but some fraudulent ones are imposed a sanction. The crimes of “fraud” in articles 157-158, “fraudulent bankruptcy” in article 161, “bid rigging” in article 235, “rigging during the discharge of contractual obligation” in article 236 and “manipulation on prices” in article 237 of Turkish Penal Code are some of the examples which can be given in this context. In this study, “crime of manipulation on prices” which is not dwelled on adequately in the doctrine is examined by featuring the controversial points.
