The Turkish Football Federation strongly denied claims that certain digital materials were deleted and subsequently recovered by the police, announcing the initiation of legal proceedings.

Statement Regarding the Claims

The Turkish Football Federation announced that reports in the press claiming certain digital materials in the Referee Affairs Department were deleted and later recovered by police technical personnel do not reflect the truth.

Inspection at Camp Facilities

It was reported that as part of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which came to the agenda with the detention of certain names from the Central Referee Board, an inspection was carried out by the Istanbul Financial Crimes Investigation Directorate teams in the VAR room at the Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facilities.

Federation's Knowledge

While it was stated that the inspections carried out were entirely within the knowledge of federation authorities, it was emphasized that the claims regarding the digital materials being deleted and subsequently recovered were completely baseless.

Decision for Criminal Complaint

The TFF announced to the public that all legal rights will be exercised against those who make contrary-to-fact, false publications and shares, and that a criminal complaint will be filed with the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
