This story is from 19 September 2026.

Bozova Public Prosecutor Türkşad Kunthan Uçuk, suspended for three months by the Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK) on September 18, surrendered to Tekirdağ Courthouse with his lawyer after a detention order. The court imposed a travel ban citing "strong suspicion of crime"; Uçuk stated he did not publish the video.

After his statement, the judge to whom he was referred imposed a travel ban, citing that evidence had not been fully collected. Uçuk argued that he recorded the video during a WhatsApp argument with his ex-wife and sent it only to her, not to the press. He is also known as the name who referred Gülşen to court with a request for arrest.
