Necati Kayaközü Appointed Muğla Chief Prosecutor

Necati Kayaközü was appointed as the Muğla Cumhuriyet Başsavcısı (chief prosecutor) following the Higher Council of Judges and Prosecutors' (HSK) 2026 decree that transferred him from the Izmir prosecutor’s office. He began his duties in Muğla, where he was welcomed by deputy prosecutors Ali Cenk Düzgün and Kamil Yılmaz. In his inaugural statement, Kayaközü emphasized loyalty to the Republic of Turkey, commitment to serving the Turkish people, and dedication to upholding the rule of law and justice.

The appointment reflects the routine rotation of senior judicial officials within Turkey's legal system and underscores the HSK’s role in assigning prosecutors to different jurisdictions.
