Justice Minister Akın Gürlek's lawyer filed a criminal complaint against TİP deputy Ahmet Şık and opened a non-pecuniary damages case. The lawyer rejected Şık's rent claims.
Lawyer Abdullah Adır described Şık's claims about Gürlek and his wife Elif Gülşah Gürlek as an "assassination of reputation". Adır said Gürlek and his wife live in the ministry residence and called on Şık to share the documents he holds.
