A major narcotics and prostitution investigation centered in Istanbul has sent shockwaves through the Turkish entertainment industry, as leaked prosecutorial records reveal the involvement of several high-profile figures. Among those implicated is actress Aleyna Bozok, known for her roles in popular series such as Kızılcık Şerbeti and Yalı Çapkını, whose legal statements and private communications have now become part of a public judicial file.
The investigation focuses on a network operating out of luxury entertainment venues, specifically “Kütüphane” and “Terapy.” According to judicial documents, the operation has uncovered a complex web of drug use and organized prostitution, involving venue operators, social media influencers, and actors. The case intensified on April 16, 2026, as details regarding financial transactions and explicit messaging between suspects were disclosed via Takvim.
Central to the current controversy are the interactions between Aleyna Bozok and a detained suspect named Yiğit Macit. Prosecutors have flagged a specific series of messages and bank transfers that suggest a financial arrangement for prostitution. Specifically, records show that Macit transferred 200,000 TL to Bozok, accompanied by a message stating, “Kanka yüz yüz bölüşürüz” (Buddy, we’ll split it 100-100) according to TV100.
While Bozok has been released, the evidence gathered from digital forensics continues to shape the prosecution’s case. The investigation has not only targeted the individuals providing services but too the infrastructure that facilitated these activities, including the owners of the establishments where the drugs were allegedly consumed and the transactions were coordinated.
The Evidence: Financials and Leaked Messages
The prosecutorial file contains granular details regarding the “money bargaining” between the actress and Yiğit Macit. Beyond the 200,000 TL transfer, the messages indicate a dynamic of financial dependency and negotiation. According to reports, Macit told Bozok, “I will pay the money, trust me, I will pay the card,” while the actress cited economic difficulties as the reason for requesting payment as detailed by Türkgün.
These communications are being used by investigators to strengthen allegations of an organized prostitution ring. The phrase “split it 100-100” is interpreted by authorities as evidence of a brokering arrangement, where the proceeds of the activity were to be divided between the facilitator and the provider.
Drug Allegations at ‘Kütüphane’ and ‘Terapy’
The scope of the investigation extends beyond prostitution to the distribution and use of narcotics. The venues “Kütüphane” and “Terapy” are at the center of these claims. Ali Yaşar Koz, the owner of Kütüphane, has been detained as part of the probe. Although Koz denied the allegations and claimed a monthly income of 400,000 TL to explain his finances, the prosecution presented testimony from eight different individuals who explicitly stated that narcotic substances were used within the Kütüphane establishment per TV100 reports.
Further admissions came from Deniz Metin Yüksel, the operator of Terapy. Yüksel confessed to the use of cannabis (esrar) and admitted that he procured the substances through various Telegram groups, highlighting the role of encrypted messaging apps in the distribution of illegal drugs within the city’s nightlife scene as reported by Takvim.
Other Key Figures and Legal Standpoints
The investigation has also touched upon other public figures, including referee Elif Karaaslan. During her statement to the prosecutor, Karaaslan admitted to sharing bikini photos through a subscription system on Instagram. However, she maintained that there was no intent of obscenity and refused to provide the password to her phone to the authorities according to Takvim.
The legal status of the suspects varies, with some remaining in custody while others, like Aleyna Bozok, have been released pending further developments. The case remains a “second wave” operation, suggesting that law enforcement is systematically dismantling a larger network of influence and illegal trade in Istanbul’s luxury districts.
