Can Yaman Detained in Istanbul Drug Raids and Released After Testimony

Prosecutors say the nightlife probe remains active following raids at nine Istanbul venues.

Overview

  • The Turkish actor was detained with six others, including Selen Görgüzel, during an overnight operation targeting clubs and hotels in Istanbul.
  • He was taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for toxicology testing and, according to ANSA citing local media, was later released after giving testimony.
  • Local reports say substances were found on him during the raid, as investigators review evidence gathered across multiple sites.
  • Authorities say the broader inquiry includes potential offenses such as personal possession, facilitating drug use and prostitution-related crimes.
  • Turkish outlets report searches at the Bebek Hotel, including a discovered “secret room” now under scrutiny, and Yaman has issued no statement as his pre-recorded Italian TV appearance remains scheduled.
