MHP Muğla Provincial Chair Oğuz Akarfırat resigns... Human smuggling allegations under investigation... Prosecutor's office imposes confidentiality order

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Muğla Provincial Chair Oğuz Akarfırat has resigned from his post.

Journalist İsmail Saymaz stated that the resignation of MHP Muğla Provincial Chair Oğuz Akarfırat was prompted by allegations of 'human smuggling' behind the scenes.

12punto has uncovered the details of the process.

It is alleged that a conflict broke out between some individuals linked to the PKK terrorist organization and others on board a vessel that departed from Marmaris in October and was heading to the Greek island of Rhodes.

It was claimed that those attempting the illegal crossing did not have any refugee status and were Turkish citizens wanted for terrorism-related crimes.

While the incident that took place in October was kept from the public, the Marmaris Chief Public Prosecutor's Office immediately imposed a confidentiality order. Due to the confidentiality order regarding the case, for which 12punto has obtained the file number, the prosecutor's office has not provided any information.

It was reported that the prosecutor's office is acting cautiously in conducting the investigation process and that the relevant authorities are awaiting a report from Rhodes.

BOAT UNDER INVESTIGATION IN RHODES

It was stated that the boat, which is alleged to have been used in human smuggling, is currently being held at the Port of Rhodes in Greece and is under investigation by Greek authorities.

It has been learned that the report to be prepared will be forwarded to the authorities of the Republic of Turkey. It was also learned that the boat is registered in the name of Yasemin Akarfırat, the daughter of MHP Muğla Provincial Chair Oğuz Akarfırat.
