Investigation into minor exploitation in Gelibolu hotel

Overview

Police in the Gelibolu district of Çanakkale detained a businessman, identified as Ş. T., during a hotel room raid where he was found with two male minors. Following the raid, authorities conducted forensic examinations and expanded the investigation to include hotel management. Investigators are looking into allegations that staff and owners bypassed official registration systems for the minors and pressured employees to remain silent.

In response, Tuna Otel management issued a statement denying any wrongdoing. While local reports suggested the facility was sealed due to the incident, the administration claimed the temporary closure is due to administrative procedures rather than the judicial process. Management argued they cannot be held responsible if guests secretly bring unauthorized visitors into rooms through common areas and announced they will take legal action against claims they view as attacks on their commercial reputation.
