The fate of former presenter Murat Başoğlu, who disappeared from screens following scandalous footage that broke out in 2017 and dominated Turkey's agenda for months, had long been a subject of curiosity. After nearly 10 years of silence, it has emerged that Başoğlu left Turkey, settled in Greece, and turned to the real estate sector.
Başoğlu, who drew great backlash when inappropriate images of him on a boat in Bodrum with his nephew were reflected in the tabloid press, had his television career suddenly ended. Following the uproar, a legal process quickly began, and a lawsuit was filed against the former presenter on charges of "engaging in indecent acts." Başoğlu, who was tried at the Bodrum 4th Criminal Court of First Instance with a request for up to 1 year in prison, was banned from traveling abroad by court order during the trial and was ordered to remain in Turkey until the case concluded.
NEW ADDRESS GREECE, NEW PROFESSION REAL ESTATE
It has been understood that the former presenter, who preferred to live a life away from the spotlight after the trial process was completed and the judicial measures were lifted, has completely left Turkey. Başoğlu, breaking his long silence via social media, shared his new appearance and new profession with his followers. Murat Başoğlu, who turned his back on his television career, settled in Athens, the capital of Greece, gave his career an entirely different direction, and stepped into the real estate sector.
TARGET AUDIENCE: THOSE SEEKING "GOLDEN VISA"
Başoğlu, who started working as a real estate consultant in Greece, announced in his latest video published on his social media account that he mediates the processes of obtaining residency permits in Europe, commonly known as "Golden Visa," through real estate investment. Describing his commercial activity, Başoğlu stated in the video he shared that they work with the best construction companies and the best lawyers in Athens and expressed that they provide their clients with a Golden Visa in the shortest possible time.
