Allegations Between Murat Ongun and Lawyer Beliz Özkan

Journalist Ahmet Hakan evaluated the allegations made by MEDYA AŞ Chairman of the Board Murat Ongun in his defense in the IBB case. Murat Ongun claimed that a lawyer offered to prevent his wife's detention in exchange for money.

Murat Ongun: A lawyer came to me, Beliz Özkan. She said, 'If you give me one million dollars, I can prevent your wife's detention.'

Ahmet Hakan analyzed these allegations and the response from lawyer Beliz Özkan. Lawyer Beliz Özkan stated that the meeting was only to offer condolences and that she had made no demands. Ahmet Hakan stated that if Murat Ongun's claim is true, it would be a horrific attempt at bribery that would undermine the judiciary. If lawyer Beliz Özkan is telling the truth, it would be a horrific slander that would undermine the dignity of a lawyer.
