Ismail Oglo Tried the Forbidden Substance for the First Time Out of Curiosity Ismail Oglo: The Use Was Aimed at Relaxation and Reducing Work Pressure

Turkish star Ismail Haj Oglo admitted in his testimony before the Public Prosecutor’s Office to allegations regarding his use of forbidden substances, following his arrest in the celebrity-related case concerning prohibited substances, carried out by the authorities in Istanbul.

Oglo was taken to the Anti-Prohibited Substances Department in Kucukcekmece, Istanbul, as part of a broad investigation that included his home in the Ayvalik district, which was targeted by the police.

“Out of Curiosity” In his statement, Oglo revealed that he tried the forbidden substance for the first time in the Netherlands out of curiosity and continued using it occasionally since then. He explained that he obtained it through groups on the Telegram platform, emphasizing that he never met the sellers in person to protect his reputation as a well-known actor.

Regarding the method of receiving the substances, he noted that he would place money in his home mailbox, while the sellers would leave the substances in exchange, maintaining the secrecy of the transactions.

Reason for Using Forbidden Substances Oglo said he used the substances to relax and relieve the pressures associated with his acting career, confirming that he did not use any other forbidden substances, did not frequent places for substance use, and did not provide any substances to anyone else. He added that the presence of substances in his home in Ayvalik was related to the ongoing filming of the series “Children of Heaven.”

Details of the Celebrity and Forbidden Substances Case Investigations related to the use of prohibited substances have attracted public attention in Turkey since last October, including several raids on nightclubs and luxury hotels. Several musicians, business managers, and well-known businessmen were arrested, and blood and hair samples were taken to verify substance use.
