Sinan Sardoğan, who was initially arrested for a crime and later released, spoke for the first time after being named a suspect in the disappearance of Arife Gökçe. Sardoğan, who was seen gaining weight in prison, said, "There are lords in prison, fights break out, there are those who receive 50 years of sentences. May God not let anyone fall into such a situation. No one should worry, I am sitting quietly in my own home. I will stay in my village."
After the disappearance of 64-year-old Arife Gökçe, Sinan Sardoğan, known to the public as "Pervert Sinan," was among the suspicious names and was discussed in Turkey's agenda for a long time during the case process. The obscene messages he sent to elderly women and his behavior after the incident sparked public outrage.
CLAIMS RELATED TO THE DISAPPEARANCE COULD NOT BE PROVEN
Claims that Sardoğan played a direct role in the disappearance of Arife Gökçe could not be proven. However, his statement about burning his clothes after the incident raised suspicions.
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR ANOTHER CASE
In broadcasts made on the program "Müge Anlı ile Tatlı Sert," it was announced that Sinan Sardoğan was imprisoned for another crime independent of the Arife Gökçe case. In the case concerning the allegation of sexual abuse, it was claimed that the victim child identified Sardoğan on television, and legal action was initiated against him following this statement.
HAIRCUTTER FOOTAGE REVEALED THE RELEASE
It was understood that he was released with the spread of footage of Sardoğan taken at a men's hairdresser in Tokat. Sardoğan's weight gain in prison drew attention. These images after his release were brought back to the agenda by viewers who remembered the Arife Gökçe case.
HE SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER HIS RELEASE
Days after the footage taken at the hairdresser, Sinan Sardoğan spoke to Müge Anlı. Describing the prison conditions, Sardoğan stated that there were serious tensions inside, saying, "There are bosses, fights break out, there are those who receive 50 years of sentences. May God not let anyone fall into this."
"NO ONE SHOULD WORRY, I AM SITTING QUIETLY AT HOME"
Sardoğan, who said he got a job and made a living this way, expressed that he was struggling financially and that his sister was supporting him. Claiming that he had never seen Arife Gökçe in his life, Sardoğan asserted that all the accusations against him were lies.
Sinan Sardoğan, expressing regret for the words he previously said on the program, stated, "No one should worry, I am sitting quietly at my own home. I will stay in my village. It is better for me to be alone."
MÜGE ANLI GOT ANGRY SAYING "I WILL FLY TO YOU FROM HERE"
Müge Anlı reacted harshly to Sinan Sardoğan, who was looking at her legs while the case of missing Arife Gökçe was being discussed on her program, saying, "Don't look at my legs. I will fly to you from here. I will harm your brain." After this incident, Sardoğan began to be referred to as "Pervert Sinan" in the public eye.
