Davutoğlu investigated over Erdoğan insult
The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Ankara has launched an investigation against former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on charges of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, following remarks he made in April 2022 that have recently circulated on social media. The statements, which criticized the authorities and accused them of corruption and lack of transparency, pertain to the political and financial practices of the Turkish government. Davutoğlu, who announced in July 2026 the dissolution of his party and his withdrawal from politics, is accused of insulting the head of state based on Article 299 of the Turkish Penal Code. The investigation is still in its early stages, and no judicial ruling has been issued yet.
