CHP deputy Özgür Özel made important statements about lawyer fees in the legal battles faced by his party. Özel expressed that the 300,000 TL paid annually for years to the lawyer handling Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's cases has been maintained until a year ago. Emphasizing that their own lawyers do not receive fees, Özel said, "Is money taken just because you are defending the party leader? The best lawyers in Turkey come running." Özel also mentioned that a new team of lawyers could be formed. These statements sparked public curiosity about the legal processes and lawyer relations within CHP.
