Mesut Yar learned about the operation live on Habertürk channel

121 companies under the holding company, including Habertürk and Show TV, were seized. The charges reportedly included "establishing a criminal organization," "smuggling," "fraud," and "money laundering." Habertürk presenter Mesut Yar, who was live on air at the time, shared the news an hour later.

"I WAS FACED WITH THESE QUESTIONS FROM YOU"

Yar announced the news with these words:

"There is no way I would leave your questions unanswered, it is not possible.

There's something I've been asked about since this morning. We've started posting it in subtitles. As you've read, the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) seized companies affiliated with Can Holding, and eight people were detained.

I can honestly assure you that I don't know anything beyond this. If I do know anything, I will share it with you all.

I've been confronted with questions from you, and the only answer I can give is nothing more than the facts you read in the caption."
