Özgür Özel will pay 750 thousand lira compensation to Akın Gürlek

New Party Chairman Özgür Özel shared with the public the title deed ID numbers of 16 properties that he claimed belonged to Gürlek during his time as CHP Chairman. Stating that the numbers in question can be questioned through official records, Özel requested that his claims be investigated. Gürlek, on the other hand, filed a lawsuit demanding 1 million lira for non-pecuniary damages on the grounds that the statements made by Özel on March 17 and 24 violated his personal rights.

Gürlek argued in his petition that the allegations regarding his assets were untrue and aimed to create a negative perception about himself in the public. Özel, on the other hand, filed a countersuit for 1 million 100 thousand liras on the grounds that Gürlek's statements against him violated his personal rights. The second hearing of the case was held at the Istanbul 3rd Civil Court of First Instance.

IT WAS DECIDED THAT ÖZEL SHOULD PAY 750 THOUSAND LIRA IN COMPENSATION

The court partially accepted the non-pecuniary damage lawsuit filed by Gürlek and ordered Özel to pay 750 thousand liras in compensation. The countersuit filed by Özel was rejected.
