Yakup Kerem Saral, again from within the family, claimed responsibility for the shooting of Eşref Saral, one of the important figures of the organized crime organization Sarallar, who was injured in an armed attack in the Of district of Trabzon. In his statement, Kerem Saral said, "The circus acrobat called Eşref; because he exploited our people's emotions, increased the number of followers on his social media accounts, and used them for material benefit and moral interests, I had to intervene in order to protect the reputation and dignity of the Saral family."

In the Of district of Trabzon, the previous day, Eşref Kemal Saral (58) was wounded by 5 bullets to various parts of his body in an armed brawl that broke out for a reason not yet known. After the incident, Saral was taken to Of State Hospital by vehicle, while a large-scale investigation into the incident was launched.

"THE CIRCUS ACROBAT CALLED EŞREF"

Yakup Kerem Saral from the Saral family claimed responsibility for the attack. In his statement, Yakup Kerem Saral said the following: "The circus acrobat called Eşref; because he exploited the feelings of our people in the Black Sea, Anatolia, and Southeastern regions, increased the number of followers on his social media accounts, and used them for material gain and moral interests, causing various manipulations, I had to intervene in order to protect the reputation and dignity of the Saral family.

"THE ONLY THING HE KNOWS IS ALCOHOL, GAMBLING, AND NIGHTLIFE"

This alcohol addict is a circus acrobat who did not shed tears at his father's funeral, but shed fake tears for manipulation purposes under the pretext of Amedspor's championship, and did not even finish primary school. The only thing he knows is alcohol, gambling, and nightlife.

"HE SHOULD WATCH HIS STEP"

This was a warning to him; I want him to know that the second one will be much more severe, and that he should watch his step accordingly. I want the Turkish public to know that this ignorant addict is an acrobat who should not be taken into consideration; I also convey my respect and greetings to the Trabzon Police Department."
