Former Beşiktaş President Fikret Orman Detained

Recent reports from local media indicate that 14 high-profile individuals have been detained in Turkey as part of an ongoing police operation. Among those taken into custody are former Beşiktaş club president Fikret Orman and former Galatasaray president Burak Elmas. The exact nature of the wide-reaching investigation has not been fully detailed in the initial press releases.

In a separate legal and disciplinary matter, Alassane Ndao was released following his first hearing regarding a sports betting scandal. The indictment alleged that wagers were placed on a Beşiktaş–Konyaspor match played on October 20, 2024, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Beşiktaş.
