New dialogues have emerged in the case file involving Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran and Ela Rümesya Cebeci, who provided statements as part of a drug investigation. Saran is seen asking Cebeci, "Happy birthday my big... my beautiful... I can't say, I don't remember how it was, how old are you now, 47 or 48?" to which Cebeci responds, "Let's meet during the holiday, where are you?" Saran then replies to Cebeci, who mentioned she would be celebrating with friends, saying, "Bring them too, I have enough for all of you."
As part of the "drug" investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the dialogues between Fenerbahçe Sports Club President Sadettin Saran, who was called in as a 'suspect' and released under judicial control, and the arrested Ela Rümeysa Cebeci leaked to the press one by one after the famous broadcaster shared the messages with the prosecutor's office.
THE MESSAGES ENTERED INTO THE FILE In the article written by journalist Nedim Şener today in Hürriyet Newspaper, new dialogues between the two names were included. In Saran's statement to the prosecutor, he confirmed the mentioned messages, and the details in Şener's article are as follows;
"Saran: Happy birthday my dear, I can't say beautiful birthday, I don't remember how it was, are you 47 or 48 now?
Cebeci: Your celebration is enough, let's meet during the holiday, where are you?
.
Cebeci: We will have a small birthday celebration at work with the girls, I will arrange myself.
Saran: Bring them too, I can handle all of you.
Cebeci: The girls are not beautiful, otherwise I thought about bringing them too, dry girls, I will bring the one that is worth it again.
Saran: (Smiley emoji)
THE PROSECUTOR ASKED ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS ONE BY ONE On the other hand, striking details were also included in Fenerbahçe Sports Club President Sadettin Saran's statement to the prosecutor. According to the news reported by DHA, Saran was asked about the messages exchanged with Ela Rümeysa Cebeci, such as "Don't forget to bring the grass when you come to me, but not hugged, in its natural state," "I don't have that," "But you planted it," to which Saran replied, "It is the same as my above defense. These messages are jokes made in metaphorical form in the conversations we see in the movies we watch. The fact that we talk so openly shows that this is a joke. If it were real, we wouldn't talk so openly. I have only one addiction in this life, and that is sports. Only during the period when I had cancer, during the last illness and death processes of my mother and father, during the Fenerbahçe presidential elections, and during the period when I was slandered, many people gave me organic tranquilizers. I used them as far as I remember. I do not think there is any drug active ingredient among them," he said.
"I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO GROWING DRUGS" On May 31, 2025, Sadettin Saran sent a message to Ela Rümeysa Cebeci saying, "Okay, let's confirm on Sunday, do you have any from that? Let's confirm on Sunday morning. The probability is 70 percent. I will go to Assos, I probably won't return late, okay? We will talk, bye bye," to which Ela Rümeysa Cebeci replied, "Am I Escobar, where can I find it, you were growing it, my president, send a few branches, we will keep in touch." Saran replied, "The message contents are correct, but there may be a mistake regarding the dates. These messages are from about 17-18 months ago. The message contents are a joke we made among ourselves due to a movie I watched before. I have no connection to growing drugs whatsoever. Since it is related to the subject of the movie we watched, it is a joke we developed metaphorically among ourselves. These messages are also for joking purposes," he said.
"PICK IT FROM THE GARDEN AND BRING IT TO ME" Saran told Cebeci, "You don't listen to me, I'm telling you slowly. You're doing things like obsessive people, leave it at a certain level. You're exaggerating everything, anyway. They are firing a lot of people at Habertürk, is that true? They are putting pressure on them, right? Cebeci replied, "But you know what, I had HD dreams and I slept thoughtlessly, it relaxes a lot. It's amazing, pick it from the garden and bring it to me next time. Yes, yes, very smart names, they are cutting off heads. They sent Esra Hanım, the Esra Hanım from 3 days ago was Didem Ciner's right hand for many years, she was at the head of Show. They are not just firing people, they are cutting off heads. Let's see what will happen, we will wait and see, but there is a design. Please fix your relationship with Kenan Bey, this is very important to me, I would be very happy if you do this," she said. Saran replied, "I warned Ela Rümeysa when Kenan Tekdağ moved from TV100 to Show TV because I know that Kenan is a bad-hearted and dangerous person. I said that Kenan has bad-hearted, dangerous, and dark relationships. For that reason, he may have sent messages to Kenan Tekdağ. Again, the expression 'It's amazing, pick it from the garden and bring it to me next time' in the message content is also a joke we developed metaphorically due to the lines from a movie we watched," he said.
"MY HEAD IS STILL GOOD, WHAT WAS THAT?" Furthermore, the messages exchanged between Saran and Ela Rümeysa Cebeci asking "Are you okay?, Did we drink a lot?" were questioned. Saran replied, "The message 'We drank a lot' refers to a special wine that came to me from Croatia. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about the wine we drank with Ela that evening. I smoked a cigar that evening. Ela also smoked Vozol cigarettes. She drank a lot of that wine that evening. I drank half a glass from one bottle. Ela drank the rest. Ela's message 'My head is still good, what was that?' is due to her drinking all of that wine. I definitely cannot have any connection with such a thing. In fact, I sent a get well message to Ela Rümeysa a few weeks ago after she was first detained and released. She also replied to me in a way saying, 'I swear I didn't do such a thing.' If we had consumed drugs together, she wouldn't have given me such a response or said 'Believe me.' I replied to her, 'I want to believe you,'" he stated.
"THE THINGS IN THE GLASS JAR ARE MY DAUGHTER'S MEDICINE POWDERS" Continuing his statement, Saran said, "The substance in the glass jar with the lid labeled GoStak in the room used as a guest room in my house in Istanbul is not drug residue. The glass jar contained various medicines of my daughter. Most likely, the residues in the glass are the powders of these medicines. It will be understood from the examination anyway. Regarding the substances found during the search at my house in Assos; I called the maid working in that house. I asked, 'What are these?'
I hosted a women's basketball team at my house in Assos about 20 days ago. There were a lot of flies in the garden. The housekeeper mentioned that she burned lavender or similar leaves to keep the flies away. After that, bees came after we had a barbecue.
"WE REQUEST TO WAIT FOR THE CRIMINAL RESULT" To drive away the bees, the housekeeper burned coffee again. The substances seized are residues from burning coffee, lavender, and sage. My defense regarding the question of whether the initial test on the substances showed results indicating they were narcotics is that this substance may have tested positive initially. However, we request to wait for the criminal result. We host a lot of guests at the villa in Assos. We hold large gatherings. More than 100 people attend these invitations. In fact, at my daughter's wedding on August 21, there were over 400 people. The places where the substances were found are not inside the house; they were found in the garden. If they were used and discarded by someone else during one of these gatherings or at a time when I was not present, I have no knowledge of it. We request fingerprint analysis on the substances found. I do not accept the accusations against me," he said.
