Controversy

Aziz Yıldırım accused Galatasaray of introducing match-fixing to Turkey in the first place, citing as an example Galatasaray’s 8–0 victory over Ankaragücü on the final matchday. Galatasaray were crowned champions at the end of the season on goal difference.

In response, Galatasaray filed a criminal complaint against Yıldırım’s statements. Yıldırım was later acquitted in court, which, in his view, implicitly confirmed Galatasaray’s match-fixing.

Galatasaray also appealed against the court’s decision. They lodged appeals with the next higher courts (Istanbul Regional Court of Appeal and Court of Cassation), but these were all dismissed.
