The broadcasting regulator RTÜK decided to impose an administrative fine on Sözcü TV for failing to publish the court-finalized reply and correction text on its Antarctica science team report.
The Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology had applied to the criminal judgeship of the peace after the channel's 13 March main news bulletin claimed team members were "unqualified" and sent to Antarctica for travel. The Ankara 48th Criminal Court of First Instance had accepted the correction request on 10 June.
