New Prosecutors Assigned to Investigations at Polat, Öz and Tuzlaspor – Latest News from Turkey
New Developments in Illegal Betting Investigation
The illegal betting investigation led by the Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has taken an interesting turn involving the Polat and Öz couples as well as Tuzlaspor President Mehmet Berzan İlhanlı. Three different prosecutors from the Terrorism and Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau have been assigned to carry out illegal betting investigations, marking a departure from the previous strategy of having a single prosecutor handle all three major investigations.
In the investigation against the Polat family, 10 people, including Dilan and Engin Polat, were arrested, signaling a major development in the case. Prosecutor Gökalp Kökçü had been overseeing the three major investigations carried out by the Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. However, a recent decree published by the Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK) on December 21, 2023, resulted in a change in Gökalp Kökçü’s place of duty, as he was appointed as the Public Prosecutor of the Erzurum Regional Court of Justice.
This shift in the investigation and change in the prosecutor’s place of duty is sure to have significant implications for the ongoing illegal betting case. As the investigation continues to unfold, the public will be eagerly following the latest developments in this high-profile case.
