Turkish Star Can Yaman Detained in Istanbul Nightclub Drug Raids

Officials have not announced charges in a citywide anti-drug sweep targeting nightlife.

Overview

  • Prosecutors ordered simultaneous inspections across at least nine Istanbul venues, with police detaining several people during the overnight operation.
  • Can Yaman was identified among seven detainees and was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for blood, urine and hair tests.
  • Actress Selen Görgüzel was also detained, as were venue owners and managers linked to the establishments inspected.
  • Authorities have not detailed any specific substances or filed formal charges, though Turkish press reports suggest a focus on cocaine and say Yaman was not an initial target.
  • The detention places upcoming promotions in doubt, including a planned appearance on Spain’s El Hormiguero, as representatives seek clarity on his status.
