The court announced its interim decision in the trial of Dilan and Engin Polat, who are accused of money laundering and tax evasion. In the case where Engin Polat is requested to be sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison for 3 separate crimes, the court issued a release order for the detained defendants Engin Polat, Sezgin Polat, Alper Kürşat Polat, and accountant Ahmet Gün. The defendants will be tried without detention and will also be subject to a travel ban. ÖZDAĞ'S STRIKING WORDSOne of the names who showed the strongest reaction to this controversial decision was the Leader of the Victory Party, Ümit Özdağ. Özdağ, who made a statement about the issue on his social media account, said, "I know how you got out of prison. Unfortunately, I cannot write it. You, your husband, and people like you represent the spirit of the time and the disgrace of the era with your disrespectful wealth in a country where 85-year-old women try to pay their rent by selling paper tissues and can only partially satisfy their hunger by collecting rotten fruits in the market." "YOU ARE ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE"In his continued statement, Özdağ gave advice to the youth, saying, "You have ruined the lives of many Turkish young people as a bad example, and you continue to do so. You are enemies of the people. Dear young people, there is nothing to admire about them. You should admire those who get up every morning with dignity and go to work, and struggle to provide for their families. You should take as an example those who earn with their labor and intelligence," he said.
