Social media influencer Taner Çağlı, who was arrested as part of a drug investigation, became an informant and was released. Çağlı, who was released under judicial control last Thursday, allegedly stated, "If Mehmet Akif Ersoy has his eye on a woman, he immediately plays bottle flipping. He wanted to play with my girlfriend too. I got angry."
In the context of the "drug" investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the media, a new development has occurred regarding Taner Çağlı, who was arrested on charges of "facilitating the use of narcotic or stimulant substances."
BECAME A WHISTLEBLOWER
It was reported that Çağlı, who became a whistleblower and was released last Thursday with a travel ban imposed, named many individuals in his statement and described some addresses where drug parties were held.
MEHMET AKİF ERSOY WAS BRINGING DRUGS FROM ISTANBUL
According to journalist Seyhan Avşar's report, Taner Çağlı also made various confessions about journalist Mehmet Akif Ersoy, who was arrested in the same investigation. In his statement, Çağlı said, "Mehmet Akif was bringing the drugs from Istanbul to the boat. He said he was passing the drugs through the plane and that he was not being searched."
"HE WANTED TO PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, I GOT ANGRY"
Another part of Taner Çağlı's statement drew attention to allegations regarding social environments. It was claimed that Çağlı stated, "If Akif has his eye on a woman, he immediately wants to play spin the bottle. During the spin the bottle game, he looks to see if the woman falls or not. He wanted to play with my girlfriend too. I got angry."
