Tolga Akış arrested

Tolga Akış, the founder and producer of the group MANİFEST, who was taken into custody as part of an investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, was referred to the court with a request for his arrest.

Akış faces charges of "obscenity," "use of narcotic substances," and "laundering assets derived from crime."

In the prosecutor's referral document, it was stated that Akış organized the group's concerts on various dates and was responsible for the activities of MANİFEST.
