24.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Sadettin Saran was Detained
⌨The Turkish media landscape on December 24 was dominated by the legal fallout of a high-profile narcotics investigation and the technical aftermath of a diplomatic tragedy. Following several days of interrogation and a positive drug test result, Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran was formally detained in the afternoon, despite his public denials and a show of support from former club president Aziz Yıldırım. Editorial boards tracked the investigation's expansion into the entertainment sector, noting the detention of producer Timur Savcı.
Simultaneously, the morning and early afternoon headlines focused on the crash of the Libyan military jet in Ankara. Reports confirmed the discovery of the black box and the final radio logs between the pilot and the tower, while President Erdoğan engaged in high-level taziye (condolence) calls with Libyan leaders. In Parliament, the evening concluded with the passage of the 11th Judicial Package, a legislative milestone that overshadowed late-day reporting on severe weather warnings and ongoing regional tensions in Syria.
