'Manifest' manager Tolga Nakit was released

In the indictment, it was claimed that it was impossible for Stream not to know how the choreographies at the concerts and the images published could affect society's sense of decency and modesty, and that the shows and outfits in question were used as a marketing strategy.

'I DO NOT THINK IT IS A CRIMINAL ELEMENT'

The detained defendant Tolga Stream and his lawyers attended the first hearing of the case held at the Istanbul 43rd Criminal Court of First Instance. Streaming said that he had been in prison for 77 days for a crime he did not commit, and said, "I found it unclear what act the obscenity crime was based on in the indictment. I do not think that any action taken at the concert was an element of crime."

Stream said, "There is no one under the age of 18 among the audience in the venue. The reason why we promoted the concert as over 18 is that the venue has an age limit of 18. This is related to the venue, not the theme of the concert. We also had a clear statement about not sharing images. We did not disseminate the images shared by third parties. There were no posts about the concert in any of our official media. We even filed a criminal complaint to prevent the concert images shared by others from being shared. These show that I have no criminal attitude. At the time of the concert "There was no choreography of a sexual nature. Some of the girls' movements may have seemed offensive to people, but I do not think they were criminal elements. The movements in the concert in which the girls in the Manifest group were tried and punished were not planned in advance. The Manifest group is a group that emphasizes positivity in general, and I and the members do not have any criminal intent."
