As part of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, actions were initiated by the Istanbul Gendarmerie Command teams on October 8 against 19 suspects, including famous names. Test results have been released for the famous individuals from whom blood and hair samples were taken regarding drug use.
DRUGS DETECTED IN 8 CELEBRITIES
Drugs were detected in Dilan Polat, Derin Talu, Berrak Tüzünataç, Deren Talu, Birce Akalay, Kubilay Aka, Kaan Yıldırım, and Metin Akdülger. No drugs were found in Duygu Özaslan Mutaf, Demet Evgar Babataş, Mert Yazıcıoğlu, Zeynep Meriç Aral, Ceren Moray Orcan, Hadise Açıkgöz, and Özge Özpirinçci Yamantürk.
Derin and Deren Talu, who were among those found with drugs in their bodies, reacted to the test results. The Talu siblings announced on their social media accounts that they would have the drug test done again.
JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE TALU SIBLINGS
In a joint statement, Derin and Deren Talu said, "I am in shock. I have never used drugs in my life. The results are absolutely not true. Is it that easy to tarnish someone's name? The only correct result is the sertraline found in my blood, which is the antidepressant I used. I have once again understood that it is impossible to live in this country without using antidepressants. I do not accept the results at all. I will be tested again at an independent institution. I will not allow my name to be tarnished." they stated.
DEFNE SAMYELİ: WE WILL HAVE THE TESTS DONE AGAIN
Defne Samyeli, the mother of the Talu siblings, stated, "I am someone who advocates not only for the prohibition of drugs but even for the prohibition of cigarettes. The effectiveness of the state in combating the trade, distribution, and prevalence of drugs is already a huge question mark. How these names were determined to be taken into custody so abruptly, and how the complaints against them were made has not yet been told to them or to us families. Because there is a 'confidentiality' decision in the file. Moreover, we are learning about these controversial test results from the press. We do not trust this operation or the results of the Forensic Medicine Institution. We will have these tests done again for my children at an independent expert hospital." she said.
