Turkish prosecutors demand six months in prison for a well-known journalist and TV presenter Fatih Altale, insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Sözcü reports.
Insulting the President in Turkey is a criminal offense.
Altail was arrested in late June on the basis of the decision of the local prosecutor's office. The reason for his arrest and further arrest was the critical expressions of Erdogan, in particular, the words that the Turkish leader intends to stay in power indefinitely.
At first, Altail was initially denied allegations, saying that he quoted the results of the survey, according to which about 70% of Turkish voters remain against Erdogan's life.
Altyle, 62, has previously worked in Turkey's most famous media outlets, including "Jumhuriyet" and "Hurriyet", as well as "Kanal D", "Show TV", ATV and "Habert Rk". In recent years, he has been conducting his own programs on YouTube.
