Statement from Afra Saraçoğlu about drug investigation

Actress Afra Saraçoğlu shared a statement on her social media account after the Forensic Medicine report regarding the comprehensive drug investigation carried out by the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office was entered into the file.

Stating that he ended his trip abroad and returned to Türkiye of his own accord as soon as he learned about the investigation, Saraçoğlu said that he acted in full cooperation with the judicial authorities. He emphasized that no criminal elements or illegal substances were found during the searches at his home.

"THE CLEAN BLOOD AND URINE CONFIRM THAT I AM NOT A USER ANYWAY"

Referring to the details in the report, Saraçoğlu stated that he was informed that an unexpected substance was found in the hair strand analysis and said:

"As far as I have learned from experts, the hair strand is a structure that is extremely open to external factors. Such technical traces can be left unknowingly through passive exposure or contact in the crowded events I attend due to my profession. The fact that my blood and urine are clean confirms that I am not a user."

The actor thanked the Istanbul Provincial Gendarmerie Command teams and judicial authorities who worked throughout the process, apologized for preoccupying the public with such an issue, and added that he was absolutely against the use of illegal substances and that it would never have a place in his life.
