A lawsuit was filed against Muhterem Çıtanak, who was fired from work due to his social media posts as he was working at a shipyard in Karamürsel, Kocaeli and his house was raided by the police. The lawsuit was filed due to “insulting the President.” In the indictment prepared by Karamürsel Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, an imprisonment sentence was claimed against Çıtanak for up to 12 years due to his post on August 25, 2019, which said, “You are the last person to criticise someone being on vacation during the flood in Istanbul. You were on vacation in Marmaris as the expected coup happened in your country. You found out about the coup from your brother-in-law, who is a millionaire despite being retired by the Social Security Fund. Mr Ekrem İmamoğlu is currently doing whatever you couldn’t, in the last 25 years.”
