They also applied to Journalist Mr. Murat Ağırel to have his unfounded allegations regarding this issue covered before the investigation begins. I learned that journalist Mr. Murat Ağırel was detained within the scope of the investigation while investigating the truth of the incident.

My family members will share all information and documents regarding the incident under investigation with the investigation authorities. The process continues. In this process, I want the presumption of innocence, that is, the need for no one to be treated as guilty or tainted until the verdict against them is finalized, to be respected.

It is announced to the public with respect."
