June 26, 1971 - Sedat Peker
A Turkish organized crime figure who turned his notoriety into a platform, he began releasing a series of videos in 2021 that drew millions of viewers by alleging direct ties between the Turkish state, its political establishment, and criminal networks. Whether understood as exposure or leverage, the campaign produced one of the more unusual public spectacles in recent Turkish political life — a mafia leader presenting himself as a witness to systemic corruption from an undisclosed location abroad.
