HE DID NOT SHARE HIS PHONE PASSWORD IN HIS STATEMENT

Cem Küçük, who gave his statement to the prosecutor as part of the investigation, stated that he works as a commentator on television programs.

PAST STATEMENTS RESURFACE

Cem Küçük's refusal to share his phone password as part of the investigation has brought his previous statements on television screens back to the agenda.

In his statements that have begun circulating on social media again, Küçük had used the following expressions:

"Those who trust themselves should provide their password. If you are accused of bribery, if you are accused of a major incident, you open it and say I have nothing to hide. For example, let the prosecutor come and take my phone."
