Gülben Ergen Calls for Clarity on Epstein Files
Gülben Ergen, the well-known Turkish singer, shared a public statement on her social media account regarding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, calling for transparency about any Turkish names mentioned in the files. She emphasized that the public expects such information to be disclosed only through reliable and credible sources.
The recent release of new documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the United States has sparked widespread reactions around the world, with the discussion also reaching Turkey. Gülben Ergen’s message — “We want to learn the names of Turks mentioned in the Epstein file from reliable sources. The shame of the world #Epstein” — reignited public curiosity and debate.
The documents made public in the U.S. include statements and references to individuals and circles alleged to have had connections with Epstein. However, it has been clearly noted that many of the names appear within the context of witness testimonies, contact records, and allegations, and do not constitute proven crimes or final legal judgments.
“The Epstein files are not merely a tabloid topic; they represent a global crime against humanity. We want to know the Turkish names mentioned in these files from reliable sources. The shame of the world.”
Reviews of respected international media outlets, official court records, and judicial documents indicate that, so far, there is no verified or legally confirmed Turkish citizen listed in the Epstein files with a formal criminal accusation. Legal experts stress the importance of clearly distinguishing between “a name being mentioned” and “a legal charge,” warning against drawing premature conclusions.
