  • Istanbul Drug Raid Questions Hadise, İrem Derici, and More

    Istanbul Drug Raid Questions Hadise, İrem Derici, and More

    A significant drug crackdown in Istanbul has sent shockwaves through Turkey’s entertainment industry, leading to questioning of some of the country’s top celebrities amid narcotics allegations.

    The operation, launched in Istanbul on October 8, 2025, was overseen by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. The main focus was on accusations related to the “use of narcotic or stimulant substances.” Many well-known figures were summoned for questioning, during which they were asked to provide statements and undergo blood tests.

    Individuals called in include Hadise Açıkgöz, İrem Derici, Demet Evgar, Berrak Tüzünataç, Dilan Polat, Engin Polat, Kaan Yıldırım, Kubilay Aka, Metin Akdülger, Birce Akalay, Özge Özpirinçci, and Zeynep Meriç. The identities behind these names have been shared by journalists Aral Keskin, Ziynet Sali, Ceren Moray, Deren Talu, Derin Talu, Feyza Altun, and Duygu Özaslan Mutaf.

    The prosecutor’s office clarified that at this stage, the operation does not involve any arrests or formal charges. Instead, authorities are collecting evidence, gathering statements, and seeking concrete examples. The Istanbul Provincial Gendarmerie has questioned numerous individuals and collected blood samples for testing.

    Responses from some of the celebrities being questioned have already emerged. Reports detail that İrem Derici was detained at her home in Şişli before being taken in for questioning. Her spokesperson has stated that she is unaware of the specifics of any charges against her as of now. It remains to be seen which individuals will face formal prosecution, as prosecutors continue to review testimonies and test results.

    This situation coincides with Turkey’s broader crackdown on drug use, social morality, and harmful behaviors on social media platforms. It’s important to remember that being detained does not equate to guilt; the legal process must follow due procedure.

    Public and media attention is expected to intensify over the coming days as authorities determine subsequent steps—whether these involve further arrests, charges, or release. The outcome will indicate the scale and significance of this high-profile investigation.
