Ümit Özdağ was acquitted in the threat case

Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ was acquitted in the 'Threat' case filed in Kocaeli with the complaint of former Welfare Party Deputy Şevki Yılmaz.

Speaking at Berna Sultan Osmanoğlu's wedding in Istanbul in 2024, former Welfare Party Deputy Şevki Yılmaz said, "I curse the degenerates who drove the Ottoman Empire." Reacting to Yılmaz's words on his virtual media account, Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ shared, "Şevki, I hope we meet somewhere. I will show you who the noble and the degenerate are."

Upon Yılmaz's complaint, a lawsuit was filed against Özdağ. The 5th hearing of the case was held at the Kocaeli 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance.

Lawyers of the parties attended the hearing. Evaluating the defenses made at the last hearing, the court announced its decision. The court decided to acquit Ümit Özdağ.
