Mehmet Akif Ersoy, the General Manager of Habertürk TV, was arrested along with three other individuals as part of a drug investigation. The serious allegations in the case have caused a significant stir on social media, and Ersoy's past statement, "A small mistake can end my career," has resurfaced.
Habertürk TV General Manager Mehmet Akif Ersoy was arrested as part of a drug investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and was subsequently detained by the court along with three others.
ALLEGATIONS IN THE FILE SHOCKED TURKEY
The statements in the detention order for Ersoy caused a shock effect in the public. The documents included the following accusations against Ersoy and his associates:
- Providing a place and opportunity for drug use in their residences,
- Supplying drugs to women who come to the house,
- Creating environments where more than two people engage in sexual relations,
- Gaining sectoral and material benefits through these environments.
Allegations that spread rapidly on social media have taken the top spot on the country's agenda.
OLD WORDS BACK IN THE AGENDA
Following the arrest decision, a speech made by Ersoy years ago during a program he attended has resurfaced. In that program, Ersoy pointed out the fragility of his public image and stated: "My semi-celebrity, screens, and all that mean nothing. If I don't appear on television for 3 months and make a very small mistake; I could suddenly find myself in a position where I cannot express myself in the eyes of the people who say they love me today."
