Müge Anlı, the host of the TV show “Müge Anlı ile Tatlı Sert”, made a phone interview with human smugglers during the broadcasting. Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) had decided on 1 million 320 thousand TL of penalty because Müge Anlı invited audience to applause smugglers who were on the phone line for their refusal to smuggle serial killer Atalay Filiz. The fine was reviewed upon the request of some members of the board and it was withdrew.
