Haydar Enes Çetinkaya, the lawyer representing the couple Dilan and Engin Polat who are on trial in an illegal betting and money laundering investigation, has been detained. It was learned that Çetinkaya was taken to the police station within the scope of the ongoing investigation related to the same case file.
The operation, coordinated by the Istanbul Anadolu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, involved teams from the Financial Crimes Division. It was reported that Çetinkaya's connections with İbrahim Özgür Özel, who is alleged to be the leader of the organization, are also being examined.
The suspect's financial transactions are under close scrutiny. The investigation is deepening on this front, and procedures at the police station are ongoing.
Haydar Enes Çetinkaya had previously been detained during a widely publicized operation targeting the couple Dilan and Engin Polat in 2023. It was learned that he was released after giving a statement at the police station at that time.
The review of the case file continues, and the detention occurred as part of a new phase of the investigation. The exact reasons and concrete connections leading to Çetinkaya's examination will become clear through ongoing police and prosecutor efforts.
