According to Kordpress, based on the new decision of the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the leader of the Justice and Development Party, Minister of Justice Yilmaz Tunç and Minister of Interior Ali Yerli Kaya were dismissed from their positions.

Following these changes, Akin Görlek, the Prosecutor General of Istanbul and one of the most controversial judicial figures in Turkish opposition cases, was appointed as the new Minister of Justice. Also, Mustafa Ciftci, the governor of Istanbul, was introduced as a replacement for Ali Yerli Kaya and took the seat of the Ministry of Interior.

Akin Gorlak worked as the Deputy Minister of Justice in the 66th and 67th governments of Türkiye between 2022 and 2024. On October 8, 2024, he was appointed as the Prosecutor General of Istanbul instead of Shaban Yilmaz.

A few months after being appointed to the Istanbul Prosecutor's Office, Görlek made headlines with court cases against municipalities affiliated with the Republican People's Party (CHP), especially the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB)..

During the same period, he sued Ozgur Özel, the leader of the CHP, after he used the term "mobile guillotine" to describe him, and Özel's court ordered him to pay 480,000 TL in moral damages.

Also, within the framework of the Istanbul Municipality case, in a 3,900-page indictment, Akram Imamoglu, the arrested CHP presidential candidate, was accused of being the "founder and leader of a terrorist organization" and a total of 828 to 2,352 years of imprisonment was requested for him.

These transfers have taken place while the Turkish government has been facing important political and security developments in recent months, and behind-the-scenes news of Turkish politics report complex power games between political leaders in this country.
