The investigation launched by the Muğla Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the events that took place on March 19 at 14:00 during a protest in front of the Muğla Courthouse against the detention of former Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has been completed.

It has been learned that within the scope of the investigation, a public lawsuit has been filed against Marmaris Mayor Acar Ünlü for resisting a public official and publicly insulting a public official due to their duty; against Marmaris Municipality Private Security Supervisor Ahmet Cemay Kocahan for resisting a public official; against Marmaris Municipality press staff member Yağız Kalakoğlu for resisting a public official; against CHP Muğla Provincial Vice President Mehmet Barut for resisting a public official; and against CHP Muğla Youth Branch Provincial President Nazım Şardoğan for resisting a public official and qualified assault against a public official.

During the incident on March 19, footage showing Mayor Ünlü walking towards the police and hitting a police shield with his hands while saying, "Why are you spraying, you immoral man? I am the mayor," had drawn backlash.
