Following the detention claims that have emerged in recent days regarding former Beşiktaş president and owner of Bilgili Holding, Serdar Bilgili, Bilgili Holding has issued a statement. Reports, particularly on social media and some news websites, claiming that Bilgili was detained at the airport while returning to Turkey from the United States, had caused a stir in the public eye.

In the statement made by Bilgili Holding, it was stated, "A necessity has arisen to inform the public due to the untrue news appearing in some media outlets regarding Bilgili Holding Chairman of the Board Serdar Bilgili."

The full statement is as follows:

"The claims put forward today on both social media and some websites that businessman Serdar Bilgili was detained at the airport upon his return from the USA are completely baseless. The news in question is not based on any concrete information, does not reflect the truth, and is misleading to the public. The shared content has no connection to reality. Necessary steps will be taken within the legal framework against those who have put forward and reported these baseless claims. Respectfully announced to the public."
