A new development has occurred regarding the famous host Mehmet Ali Erbil, who received a house arrest sentence as part of the investigation into "encouraging illegal gambling." The house arrest decision for Erbil has been lifted by the duty magistrate. The famous actor has made his first statement.

'Illegal betting encouragement' charges led to the detention of singer Serdar Ortaç and presenter Mehmet Ali Erbil, who were placed under house arrest, but their judicial control obligations were lifted by the on-duty magistrate upon appeal.

"THE REASON FOR THE BAD EVENTS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IS MY GOOD INTENTIONS BEING USED"

Following the developments, Mehmet Ali Erbil made a statement regarding the issue.

The famous showman included the following statements in his explanation:

"Those who know me very well know. The reason for the bad events that have happened to me throughout my life has always been the misuse of my good intentions. Indeed, I experienced a similar situation in this last incident as well. I have never engaged in any behavior contrary to the law; nor will I. The electronic bracelet and house arrest decision imposed on me due to my illness had made me very anxious. The thought of not being able to reach the hospital in an emergency is very distressing. Therefore, I was very happy to hear that this decision was lifted today. Since the trial is ongoing, I cannot comment much, but my trust in the great Turkish justice is infinite. I can only say this much."
