Servet Yıldırım, whose name has frequently appeared in the IMM case, has returned to the center of the agenda with a 72-minute program on Ferhat Mutlu’s YouTube channel. Throughout the program, Yıldırım made bribery allegations against CHP politicians. Following these statements, social media users began discussing the contradictions in Yıldırım’s narrative and the expressions he used.
Furthermore, social media posts by Yıldırım containing insults directed at public figures such as Özgür Özel, Ekrem İmamoğlu, and Dilek İmamoğlu were also exposed.
Eyes quickly turned to the watch Yıldırım wore on his wrist during the interview.
This detail, which caught the attention of viewers, was soon revealed: Yıldırım was wearing the Nautilus model from the luxury watch brand Patek Philippe.
The online retail price of the watch in question is recorded at approximately 5 million 618 thousand TL.
While Yıldırım’s allegations and his luxury watch created a contrasting picture in the public eye, this detail caused a major stir on social media. In particular, the fact that an individual involved in a judicial process possesses such an expensive watch has brought about various debates.
