<\/picture><\/div>\nWhen the bride arrived at her wedding wearing gold and jewellery worth around \u20b98 crore, all eyes were on her. Videos of the lavish wedding quickly went viral on social media, with people discussing the bride\u2019s jewellery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n But the story took a turn after the groom was arrested. Now, his wife and social media influencer \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z has also been detained by police. The question is: what is the connection between the couple\u2019s lavish wedding and the police investigation?<\/p>\n Who is \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z is a social media influencer in Turkey. She is married to Mehmet Fatih Tan\u00e7alan, who is known on social media as \u2018Vanli Kara Haydar\u2019. His real name is reportedly Mehmet Fatih Tancalan.<\/p>\n A few days ago, police arrested Mehmet Fatih Tancalan in connection with a social media post. Now, his wife has also come under investigation as part of the same case.<\/p>\n Their wedding had attracted considerable attention because large amounts of gold, foreign currency and cash were displayed at the ceremony.<\/p>\n According to reports, jewellery and other items worth around 44 million Turkish liras, or approximately \u20b98.64 crore, were displayed at the wedding. Pictures and videos of the ceremony subsequently went viral on social media.<\/p>\n Police probe source of couple’s wealth<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Turkey\u2019s S\u00f6zc\u00fc website, the investigation is not limited to Mehmet Fatih Tan\u00e7alan\u2019s social media posts. Authorities are also examining the couple\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n Police are investigating the source of their wealth, including the gold, foreign currency and expensive items displayed at the wedding.<\/p>\n Their luxurious lifestyle shown on social media and the large amount of jewellery displayed at the wedding have also come under scrutiny.<\/p>\n Husband already sent to prison<\/strong><\/p>\n Before \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z was detained, her husband had been arrested. He was brought before the court on charges of \u2018legalising the proceeds of crime\u2019, which means concealing criminal proceeds or making them appear legitimate.<\/p>\n The court later ordered that he be sent to prison.<\/p>\n As the investigation continues, \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z has also come under the police scanner.<\/p>\n Wife claims much of jewellery was rented<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Turkish website Cumhuriyet, an important claim regarding the wedding jewellery emerged during questioning.<\/p>\n The accused reportedly said that many of the jewellery pieces displayed at the wedding had been rented.<\/p>\n According to the claim, the jewellery was rented from a jeweller known to them in the Muradiye area and was returned after the wedding.<\/p>\n This means the couple\u2019s claim is that not all the jewellery displayed at the ceremony was their personal property.<\/p>\n Companies allegedly sponsored wedding<\/strong><\/p>\n Another claim also emerged during the investigation, according to S\u00f6zc\u00fc.<\/p>\n The report said some companies sponsored the wedding because \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z was a social media influencer and appeared in their advertisements.<\/p>\n The party claimed that some of the expensive items and jewellery displayed at the wedding had been provided by companies as sponsorship.<\/p>\n However, court documents said sufficient information or documents proving this claim were not found in the investigation file.<\/p>\n Police conduct late-night operation<\/strong><\/p>\n The investigation began after instructions from the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor.<\/p>\n At around 3am on September 8, 2026, police reached Mehmet Fatih Tancalan\u2019s house in Muradiye district of Van province, Turkey.<\/p>\n Police took him into custody from his home and later took him for questioning and completion of legal procedures.<\/p>\n The late-night police action also became a topic of discussion locally.<\/p>\n However, being investigated or taken into custody does not by itself establish guilt. The facts will become clear through the investigation and further legal proceedings.<\/p>\n Police reportedly have 25 criminal records<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Cumhuriyet, police have already registered 25 criminal records against Mehmet Fatih Tan\u00e7alan.<\/p>\n However, the report does not provide complete details about the nature of all these records or the cases they relate to.<\/p>\n Therefore, it would not be appropriate to consider him guilty based only on the number of records. Each case may have a different legal status and will be examined separately during court proceedings.<\/p>\n Social media post behind police action<\/strong><\/p>\n According to information that has recently emerged, the main reason for the action is a social media post.<\/p>\n The prosecution believed that the post could be investigated under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK).<\/p>\n Police were directed to take action on this basis. They will now examine the post, its context and other facts related to the case.<\/p>\n Further action will depend on the investigation and legal process.<\/p>\n \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z shuts social media accounts<\/p>\n According to S\u00f6zc\u00fc, \u00c7a\u011fla \u00d6z closed her social media accounts after her husband\u2019s arrest and remained largely silent in public.<\/p>\n Her own detention has now brought the case back into the spotlight.<\/p>\n The investigation is ongoing. Authorities are trying to establish the actual source of the couple\u2019s wealth and the expensive jewellery displayed at their wedding.<\/p>\n The court has also held that simply claiming that the wedding items were sponsored was not enough, as no documents proving the claim were found in the investigation records.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the bride arrived at her wedding wearing gold and jewellery worth around \u20b98 crore, all eyes were on her.
