🇹🇷 Turkish police arrest journalist over false Jamal Musiala transfer reports.
Police officers in Turkiye took sports reporter Burhan Can Terzi into custody at his residence after he reported that Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala signed with Galatasaray.
Terzi doubled down on his claim after Galatasaray executives issued an official statement denying any transfer agreement, asserting on social media that he put his reputation on the line.
Supporters across the country filed complaints with legal authorities, accusing the journalist for spreading false information.
The Bakirkoy Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation under criminal charges of public dissemination of misleading information.
Judicial authorities released Terzi without any punishment after taking his formal statement.
