An operation was carried out in December against suspects who had rented a villa in Büyükçekmece to organize a private New Year's Eve party and were preparing to broadcast obscene content on social media. During the investigation into the suspects, 19 people were detained, including interior designer brothers Ferhat G. and Serhat G., who were alleged to be the founders of Fergio House and who wore masks and altered their voices in their videos to avoid being recognized.

Following the procedures conducted by the Public Security Branch's Morality Bureau, the 19 detained individuals were referred to the courthouse. Ferhat G. was arrested by the court and sent to prison. A judicial control decision was issued for the other 18 individuals.

ASSETS SEIZED

Within the scope of the ongoing investigation, it was determined that Ferhat G. (32), Serhat G. (32), and a woman named S.G.C.
