Gebze prosecutor's office investigates courthouse employee for inappropriate social media videos

An investigation has been initiated by the Gebze Chief Public Prosecutor's Office into a courthouse employee for sharing inappropriate content on social media platforms. The Ministry of Justice announced that the probe was launched following the discovery of videos posted on TikTok and X that targeted citizens and were deemed unsuitable.

The ministry's written statement clarified that the employee, who works at the Gebze courthouse, used language inconsistent with public service ethics and the dignity expected of a civil servant. The judiciary's primary objective, the statement emphasized, is to serve citizens with respect, courtesy, and patience under all circumstances.

Actions contrary to the judiciary's citizen-oriented service approach and professional principles have led to the immediate launch of a disciplinary investigation against the employee in question.
