Mehmet Akif Ersoy, the General Director of Habertürk TV, was arrested as part of an ongoing drug investigation. The allegations in the detention document regarding "drug supply, allowing use in a residence, and gaining benefits through multiple relationships" caused a significant stir on social media. Habertürk's presentation of the arrest news as if Ersoy were "an ordinary person" without establishing a connection with him also caught the attention of viewers.
With the instruction of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Habertürk TV's General Broadcast Manager Mehmet Akif Ersoy, along with three others, was arrested as part of a drug investigation.
THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE FILE CAUSED A SHOCKING EFFECT
The document that led to Ersoy's arrest stated, "They provided a place and opportunity for drug use in their residences, supplied drugs to women who came to the house, and then engaged in sexual relations with more than two people, obtaining sectoral and material benefits by involving women around them in such relations..." These allegations received significant attention on social media.
THE PRESENTATION FORMS OF THE NEWS CAUGHT ATTENTION
While the repercussions of the incident continued, Habertürk's report regarding Mehmet Akif Ersoy's arrest notably did not associate him with the channel in any way, presenting him as an ordinary person. Those watching the broadcast from the screen couldn't help but say, "From where to where."
