Can Yaman Detained in Istanbul Drug Raids and Released as Nightlife Probe Widens

Prosecutors press a broader nightlife investigation built on tipoffs, with toxicology results still pending.

Overview

  • Yaman was among seven people detained in overnight checks across nine Istanbul venues and was released the same day after giving a statement.
  • Those held were taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for blood and toxicology tests, whose outcomes have not yet been disclosed.
  • Turkish reports say there was no prior arrest warrant for Yaman, and that his detention followed a tip and alleged possession found during searches.
  • Investigators searched hotspots including the Bebek Hotel, where local media report discovery of a “secret room” now under scrutiny for its possible use.
  • After returning to Rome, Yaman rejected Turkish press accounts on Instagram, while Italian TV proceeded with pre‑recorded programming featuring him.
