The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has issued fines to the popular series Kızıl Goncalar and Şakir Paşa Ailesi: Mucizeler ve Skandallar. The reason for the penalties was stated as violence and sexual content.

In its latest meeting, a 3 percent administrative fine was also issued to the series Kızıl Goncalar and Şakir Paşa Ailesi: Mucizeler ve Skandallar, which air on NOW TV.

CHILDREN LOOKING AT PHOTOS OF NUDE WOMEN TRIGGERED THE FINE

It was stated that the decision to impose a fine on the series Şakir Paşa Ailesi: Mucizeler ve Skandallar was made due to elements containing sexual content, such as children looking at photos of nude women and talking about what they saw.

It was announced that Kızıl Goncalar was also fined due to scenes of violence, on the grounds that it violated the provision in Law No. 6112 stating that 'broadcast services cannot encourage or normalize violence.'
