Dilan Polat's lawyer, Sevinç Horoz, who came to the fore with a live broadcast spread on social media, is facing serious accusations. According to the allegations, Horoz collected money from branches to have negative news reports about the Dilan Polat couple removed.

In the petition, it was stated that a group named "Press communication and crisis management" was established via WhatsApp and that approximately 1 million TL was collected from the branches through this group.

It is alleged that the collected money was transferred to Sevinç Horoz's account with the description "expense advance," and it was claimed that no press work was carried out in return for these payments.

The documents added to the petition included WhatsApp correspondence, payment receipts, and a list of branch owners.
