Journalist Yavuz Karakoç made remarkable posts on his social media account.
Karakoç said that he was threatened with death by Turan Yıldız, who crushed his and his neighbor's car with the car he was driving under the influence of alcohol, and stated that Yıldız was a ‘mafia’.
Karakoç expressed his experiences as follows:
“I woke up at 4:30 a.m. to a loud noise. When I looked outside, there was a late model jeep on my car. A blind drunk had destroyed the retaining wall between the apartment building next door and turned the parking lot into a war zone.
I was with an 80-year-old couple, one of whom had Alzheimer's disease, whose car was totaled, both vehicles were badly damaged. Under the influence of alcohol, he had a fight with his wife and got behind the wheel. He wrecked people's cars in the parking lot. Then he calls it “an accident, God's will”.

“HE WAS EVEN A MAYORAL CANDIDATE FROM THE GOOD PARTY”
This is attempted premeditated murder... Moreover, he did not compensate those people and me. And he's giving me advice... The name of the citizen who committed this accident like attempted murder is Turan Yıldız. His car has no insurance.
It has been stalling vehicle owners for months. So what happened happened to our vehicles. When I called, he directed me to Adem KILIÇ, the license holder of the vehicle. I searched. A contractor who owns a chain of grocery stores in Beylikdüzü and Esenyurt and does large-scale construction work even became a mayoral candidate from the İYİ Party. “You can't get 5 cents from us. We'll get a man from the police station.” I tried to explain the situation on social media. He calls, swears a lot and threatens, “I will find you”...
“I AM BEING THREATENED WITH DEATH”
I tried to explain the situation on social media. The mafia guy who totaled my car and pocketed the money was disturbed. He called me on the phone. He swore and threatened, “I'll find you.” I said, “Tell me where to find you and I'll come.” He swore again.
In a place where every corner-closer thinks he is the mafia, my car is gone and I am threatened with death. This is how my test with the mafia began.”
