An indictment has been issued against Mabel Matiz and video director Sinan Tuncay on an 'obscenity' charge. A scene showing two men dancing opposite each other was deemed a crime.

The indictment claimed footage from the 3rd minute and 51st second onward 'pushed the accepted limits of public morality'. Prosecutors sought 6 months to 3 years in prison for each and did not lift the artist's travel ban.
