Turkish media on November 21st extensively covered a major illegal betting and money laundering operation. In the evening, reports confirmed the arrest of 32 suspects, including four referees (Gerçek Gündem, Hürriyet, Milliyet). Further developments saw red notices issued for former footballer Batuhan Karadeniz and Fedlan Kılıçaslan in connection with the investigation (Gerçek Gündem, Hürriyet, Milliyet).
Concurrently, the debate surrounding the potential İmralı visit continued to be a prominent topic. While the CHP reiterated its refusal to participate (Bianet, Medyascope), MHP leader Bahçeli made a notable statement suggesting a visit to İmralı should occur if Silivri is visited (Yeni Akit). Earlier, the parliamentary commission had voted to proceed with the İmralı visit, despite CHP's non-participation (Gerçek Gündem, Medyascope).
Additionally, poisoning incidents continued to be reported, with new cases in Taksim and Istanbul leading to 20 hospitalizations (Gerçek Gündem, OdaTV), and the Böcek family's death investigation resulted in two arrests (Gerçek Gündem, Milliyet, Yeni Akit).
