Recent statements regarding the acquisition of Ciner Media Group have brought the influence of state officials on the media back into the spotlight.

In Kemal Can's statement, it is claimed that the acquisition of Ciner Media Group and other significant institutions was guided by a state official. This raises questions about the relationship between media and politics.

Kemal Can also mentioned that a state official acted as an intermediary in the acquisition of KRT TV, although this purchase did not go through. He stated that there were also attempts to acquire Türk Telekom.

CHP's Ahmet Vehbi Bakırlıoğlu reacted to Kemal Can's statements, questioning who this state official is. He asked why the prosecutor did not investigate this matter.

İş Bankası CEO Hakan Aran announced that they had provided credit to Can Holding. Aran emphasized that this credit was not related to money laundering.
