An investigation has been launched due to Ferit Zengin's WhatsApp messages

FERİT ZENGİN - An investigation was launched after his correspondence via WhatsApp was forwarded to the prosecutor's office by a friend of his, with whom he was previously said to be hostile, on the grounds that he "insulted the President". Polat was taken into custody and brought to the Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which was conducting the investigation. Polat, who fell ill while his statement was being taken, was released with a judicial control order banning him from leaving the country. Polat, whose criminal file has increased with money laundering and illegal betting investigations in the last 3 years, said in his statement at the prosecutor's office that these correspondences did not belong to him and that the phone was a company line.
