Cem Küçük brings up a shocking claim regarding Erden Timur! 'Including point deduction for Galatasaray...'

Turkey has been shaken in recent days by a series of consecutive operations. Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran, who was taken into custody as part of a drug investigation that began with famous figures and subsequently extended to the media and sports worlds, was released under judicial control.

While the accusations against Saran remain a hot topic, detention warrants were issued yesterday morning for 29 people, including 14 football players, as part of an investigation into illegal betting in football.

The fact that former Galatasaray deputy chairman Erden Timur was among those detained has become a major talking point.

Journalist Cem Küçük, who is close to the government, raised a striking claim about Erden Timur on the Medya Kritik program broadcast on TGRT Haber.

“I said that for Erden Timur, it was not match-fixing and bribery, but money laundering and illegal betting. A few friends wrote that ‘It is.’ One of the accusations directed at him is match-fixing and bribery while he was a Galatasaray executive.

If that is the case… I am not sure about this, I am still not sure. Friends say that is the case. If there was match-fixing and bribery while he was a Galatasaray executive and this is proven, then consequences including a point deduction for Galatasaray could come onto the agenda.

If it is true… Because there is also an allegation that he engaged in match-fixing and bribery, this is very important. I am not sure, this claim needs to be verified. But if it exists, this is a critical matter.”

If that is the case, many things, including a point deduction for Galatasaray, could come onto the agenda." pic.twitter.com/TzWqHWIsyC
