Administrative fine

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposed a 3-percent administrative fine on KRT TV due to the broadcasts where crime group leader Sedat Peker’s remarks about Serhat Albayrak, the Deputy Chair of Turkuvaz Media Group, and AKP Erzurum MP Zehra Taşkesenlioğlu, who hit the headlines with allegations of bribery, were debated (October 6).
