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.
