''COMPREHENSIVE AND DETERMINED LEGAL STRUGGLE''
In a statement made by the yellow-red club, it was stated, "A comprehensive and determined legal struggle process has been initiated against individuals and entities attempting to deliberately associate our club with criminal organizations, illegal activities, or fictitious scenarios."
Here is the statement made by Galatasaray:
''Recently, it is clearly seen that a systematically organized, gang-like team has been conducting a smear and defamation campaign aimed at associating the name of Galatasaray Sports Club with illegal processes, primarily on social media and various platforms.
Galatasaray Sports Club has never been associated with illegal structures throughout its rich history of over 120 years; on the contrary, it has regarded law, justice, and institutional reputation as its fundamental values. Nevertheless, a comprehensive and determined legal struggle process has been initiated against individuals and entities attempting to deliberately associate our club with criminal organizations, illegal activities, or fictitious scenarios.

Criminal complaints have been filed against the users listed above under the Turkish Penal Code articles 288 (Influencing Judicial Proceedings), 216 (Inciting Hatred and Hostility Among the Public or Insulting), 217/A (Publicly Disseminating Misleading Information), and 220 (Establishing an Organization for the Purpose of Committing Crimes).
Criminal complaints will be followed up with determination in the coming days based on new findings. Those who attempt to discredit our club by bringing the words Galatasaray and match-fixing together will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
We will fight one by one against organized shares and unfounded claims aimed at our club that seek to mislead the public. All these initiatives aimed at defaming Galatasaray will be met with legal action without distinction of person, title, or visibility.
Galatasaray Sports Club has never allowed any structure trying to advance through defamation and threats, and it will not allow it in the future.
Respectfully announced to the public.''
