The long-standing tension between famous artist Özcan Deniz and his brother Ercan Deniz has finally resulted in a death threat and intervention by the gendarmerie. The crisis, which has many dimensions ranging from business partnerships to wealth disputes, family confrontations to harsh statements reflected in the media, has once again come to the public's attention with the house raid in Zekeriyaköy.
LAWSUIT OVER 22 YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP
The tension between the brothers began with the end of their 22-year business partnership. Özcan Deniz filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of the title deed at the Istanbul Civil Court, claiming that the properties in Sarıyer were transferred unlawfully. Ercan Deniz, on the other hand, made counterclaims, accusing his brother of embezzling a fortune worth 150 million lira. These accusations resonated widely in the public.
ASSETS SEIZED
The tension between the parties escalated further due to financial issues. It was revealed that Özcan Deniz had guaranteed loans taken by Ercan Deniz years ago, but due to the non-payment of debts, all of the artist's assets and bank accounts were seized.
MOTHER-SON CONFRONTATION
The crisis took on a different dimension with statements made by mother Kadriye Deniz on social media. Kadriye Deniz reacted to her son, saying, "From now on, neither for the holiday nor for the salute... When blood ties succumb to interests, there remains not a child, but a hand." Özcan Deniz responded to his mother, stating, "You only saw me as a means. You saw me not as a child or a brother, but as a slave whose labor has been mortgaged."
ALLEGATION OF "HE IS THE ONE WHO HAD ME SHOT"
The artist also claimed that his brother Ercan Deniz was behind the armed attack he suffered in 2008. Remembering that he was shot in the leg that night, Deniz said, "Ercan is the reason I was even shot. Even now, you are desperately looking for a hitman. No one should expect me to forgive my murderers who tried to kill me and failed."
HE STORMED THE HOUSE WITH A GUN
Following all these events, a shocking incident occurred recently. According to the claims of the 'Bi Bakalım' program, Ercan Deniz went to Özcan Deniz's house in Zekeriyaköy with a gun. There, he threatened, "If you don't return what you stole from me, I will kill both myself and you." The gendarmerie intervened in the incident upon notification.
NEGOTIATIONS BEGAN: PROTOCOL PROCESS STARTED
After this incident, the parties sat down at the table through their lawyers. Negotiations began in line with Ercan Deniz's statement, "I want back what was taken from me." According to the information obtained, three villas and some properties were transferred to Ercan Deniz. An agreement was also reached regarding the sharing of debts.
