And he said that a relative appointed by Canikli as trustee of Boydak Holding, which has transferred to the SDIF, had disappeared with 20 million euros that he had taken out of the country to "make warehouses abroad". Promising to "hold him to account," Kılıçdaroğlu claimed that Canikli had protected this person, Ertunç Laçiner. Future Party leader Ahmet Davutoğlu had also called for an investigation into the assets of Canikli and his relatives.Canikli, who remained silent until the CHP leader brought the allegations to the agenda, later denied all off the claims, saying that "no unfair gain was made to his relatives or anyone not related to him from the companies transferred to the SDIF" and accused Kılıçdaroğlu of "lying".Following the complaints, Cihan's Twitter account had restricted due to "disclosure of private information." After the account reopened, Cihan shared his messages, which were considered a violation of the rules due to the complaints, and stated that "his account may be restricted again".<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Yeni Şafak's news that exposed the crack</h2>Yeni Şafak newspaper, owned by Albayrak Media Group, which is known to be close to the government, published an article with the headline "Mevlüt Uysal's unlawful activities: He uses the names of senior figures." According to the article, Mevlüt Uysal, who became the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality from AK Party in 2017 after Kadir Topbaş resigned upon President Erdoğan's request, "used his title as former mayor of Istanbul to influence some names in the Council of Judges and Prosecutors and the Council of State". &nbsp;Uysal, was alleged to "made unlawful and illegal demands through his connections in many ministries and bureaucracy and provided unfair benefits and gains". It was stated that Uysal "made efforts to organize tenders delivered to the address or to have the irregularities of some companies cleared in the judiciary" and that this "disturbed many circles in the AK Party".Journalist Metin Cihan claimed that this news was related to the documents he published. Cihan said that Canikli "entered politics from the Albayrak Group's quota and that they are still partners in a dirty business". Cihan also stated that Canikli did not receive support from the party after the leak of the documents and that some AK Party executives wanted Canikli, "who is harming the party," to be "uprooted". He interpreted Yeni Şafak's report as "blackmail against the AK Party and Erdoğan, a small signal about how they can use the media group they own".Uysal confirmed Cihan's interpretation, saying that "someone wanted to send a message to someone through him and that he would file a criminal complaint against the news". Denying the allegations, Uysal said Yeni Şafak should prove the claims.&nbsp;
