İstanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office had initiated a criminal investigation against Alican Uludağ due to his article entitled “The Prosecution Office: The Man Island Documents are Real” which was covering the decision of non-prosecution pertaining the investigation launched against CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for his speech revealing the Man Island documents. The prosecutor’s office decided on non-prosecution on August 2018. However it is learned that representatives of Erdoğan will object to the decision.
