Recent drug investigations that have gained momentum in Istanbul have unsettled entertainment venues. Following police operations, the entertainment sector is continuing its business by implementing security measures not seen before. Venue owners are finding themselves forced to take every precaution to ensure their names are not included in investigations.
SECURITY MEASURES REACH THE HIGHEST LEVEL
In entertainment venues, particular attention is being paid to restrooms, trash bins, and security cameras. While security guards are being stationed in restrooms, special procedures are being implemented for the collection of trash.
Napkins and coasters are also being carefully examined. The entertainment sector is reviewing every detail to avoid getting its name involved in investigations.
"DRUG USE PROHIBITED" SIGNS HAVE BECOME VISIBLE
According to a report by Sabah newspaper, some entertainment venues have begun hanging signs on their walls that read "Drug use is prohibited." Warnings regarding drugs, which are already illegal, have been made more visible with the aim of staying clear of investigations. These warnings not only prohibit drugs but also serve as an indicator that business owners are not overlooking any details.
Waiters are no longer just taking orders; they are also carefully observing what is happening in the venue. It is stated that venue owners are giving instructions to their employees such as, "Nothing should happen without our knowledge." In entertainment venues, waiters are monitoring customer behavior to try and detect any abnormalities early.
HAIR AND HAIR EXTENSION MEASURES
In entertainment venues, there is also concern that drugs could be hidden inside hair extensions or hairpieces. Although there has been no such case recorded in judicial files so far, it is stated that business owners and their employees need to be careful about this as well. It is noted that hair extensions and hairpieces should be checked with particular care, and that suspicions in this area are gradually increasing.
