ALBAWABA - It was decided that Turkish star Burak Deniz was not guilty in a high-profile case involving actress Nilperi Şahinkaya. The 15th Criminal Court of First Instance in Adana made the decision this week.
An event in Adana in 2022 set off the case. A man named Necmi Deniz, who was sitting at the same table as Deniz, said rude things and made threats against him. Also, he was charged with making fun of Şahinkaya and trying to hit Necmi, but his punch missed.
The public prosecutor wanted Deniz to be punished. A public insult, a threat, and an attempt at a simple attack were among the charges.
At the last meeting, Nilperi Şahinkaya joined via video call from Istanbul. Nail Gönenli, her lawyer, was also there. They said Deniz should be held responsible for what he did.
But the court said something different. The judges said there wasn't enough or clear evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. That meant that Burak Deniz was found not guilty of any crimes.
Reports say that Şahinkaya is not happy with the decision. She said she was going to appeal the ruling. Her lawyers believe a different perspective on the information is necessary.
Turkish media has been paying close attention to the story. Deniz and Şahinkaya are both well-known TV stars. The people paid a lot of attention to their role in the dispute.

The decision is excellent news for Deniz. During the trial, he rejected the charges against him. His lawyers contended that the allegations were baseless and contrived to harm him. The court's ruling backs up that defense.
But the story might not be over yet. The case might go back to court after an appeal. Deniz doesn't have to worry about the law right now.
Currently, Burak Deniz is playing lawyer Ertan Aydın in the new season of the show Sahtekârlar. His acting career is still going strong, even though there was some criticism. Fans of both stars are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the appeal process.
