The leader of the CHP, Özel, spoke for the first time about the investigation initiated against him. Özel stated, "I found the investigation to be positive in terms of our judicial system. I congratulate the Chief Public Prosecutor of Ankara for not recognizing the authorities of the Chief Public Prosecutors of Istanbul, Antalya, and Kayseri, and for not allowing the audacity of saying, 'I am privileged, I was appointed by the gentleman.' He has done the right thing."
The CHP Chairman Özgür Özel has been subjected to an investigation based on four separate criminal allegations. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has initiated an ex officio investigation against Özel on the grounds of "insulting the President," "publicly inciting to commit a crime," "insulting public officials due to their duties," and "threatening."
ÖZEL SPEAKS FOR THE FIRST TIME
It has been learned that the investigation was initiated due to Özel's speech following the CHP MYK meeting, and the CHP Chairman has made his first comment regarding the investigation launched against him.
"I FOUND THE INVESTIGATION POSITIVE"
Responding to questions from the press, Özel used striking expressions regarding the investigation, stating, "I found the investigation positive from the perspective of our judicial system."
"I CONGRATULATE THE CHIEF PUBLIC PROSECUTOR"
Continuing his speech, Özel said, "I congratulate the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor for not giving the opportunity this time to the Chief Public Prosecutors of Istanbul, Antalya, and Kayseri, who disregard their authorities, teach them their profession, and essentially treat them like a doormat, claiming 'I am privileged, I was appointed by the gentleman'."
