ISTANBUL - Political Communicator Evren Barış Yavuz was detained for sharing about the Ministry's trade restrictions with Israel.

 
After the Ministry of Commerce imposed an export restriction on Israel in 54 product groups, including jet fuel, on April 9, Yavuz made a statement on the virtual media (X) account, where Boğaziçi University Rector Naci İnci, Erdoğan's son-in-law Selçuk Bayraktar and his brother Haluk Bayraktar were present. He shared the photo and said, "They sold jet fuel."
 
YAVUZ WAS SHOWN AS A TARGET
 
Baykar manager Haluk Bayraktar quoted Yavuz's post from his virtual media account and claimed that he is in the team of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and targeted him.
 
Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation against Yavuz for "inciting the public to hatred and hostility or humiliation" and "inciting to commit a crime" due to the post Yavuz shared. Yavuz was detained from his home this morning and taken to the Istanbul Police Department.
