One person detained in Bursa following Aziz Yıldırım's complaint to Bakırköy Chief Prosecutor's Office

Cengiz Yıldız, who is alleged to be the owner of the account with the username 'profdraleks', was detained in Bursa following a criminal complaint filed by Fenerbahçe Sports Club Chairman Aziz Yıldırım with the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

In a petition submitted to the prosecutor's office on Monday, Yıldırım's lawyers filed a complaint about insulting, threatening, and privacy-violating posts that used the chairman's daughter Yaz Yıldırım's photograph without permission. The petition also raised the issue of negative comment campaigns allegedly conducted systematically against the club through social media.

Yıldırım, who won the club chairmanship election held in June and returned to office, had repeatedly emphasized in public that he would not hesitate to pursue legal remedies against attacks directed at him via social media since that date. The Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office did not provide any additional clarification regarding the scope of the ongoing investigation. The matter was reported by Cumhuriyet Gazette.
