Imam scandal in Mersin! Alcohol and inappropriate images on the agenda

Allegations regarding the private lives of two imams in the Erdemli district of Mersin have caused a wide stir both among the local public and on social media. Images showing an imam, who led the morning prayer at the mosque where he serves, consuming alcohol have sparked reactions.

FILMED WHILE DRINKING ALCOHOL WITH FRIENDS

Images have emerged of H.G., who serves under the Erdemli Mufti's Office, consuming alcohol with his friends on the beach. In the footage recorded with a mobile phone, H.G. was seen appearing cheerful while drinking whiskey. It was learned that many complaints have been sent to the Presidential Communication Center (CİMER) regarding the imam in question, but no action has been taken by the Mufti's Office yet.  

HIS WIFE FILED FOR DIVORCE  

Imam H.G.'s wife, E.G., filed for divorce, citing allegations of alcohol consumption and an illicit affair with a woman. Speaking to SÖZCÜ about the matter, E.G. stated, “My husband drinks alcohol and then stands for prayer at the mosque in the morning. I leave him to God.”  

VIDEO CALL FANTASY SHOCK

Another scandal emerged regarding imam L.S., who serves at the Erdemli Nursing Home Mosque. It was stated that L.S. engaged in inappropriate behavior during a video phone call, addressed the woman he was talking to as "my baby," and that the moments he undressed were recorded.  

Realizing that he was being blackmailed after the call, imam L.S. took the matter to the prosecutor's office. While it is learned that the incident is in the legal process, an explanation is expected from the Mufti's Office regarding both imams following the scandals.
