It seems that Knicks center Enes Kanter cannot escape the Turkish government. Per sporting news, Kanter has been charged again by the Turkish government, this time for insulting Hedo Turkoglu.
The Istanbul Cyber Crimes Investigation Bureau (ICCIB) filed the indictment on the grounds that Kanter had “insulted Turkoglu more than once in different dates,” per a report from Turkish newspaper Sabah. The indictment focuses on comments made on Kanter’s social media page that were deemed “hurtful and humiliating.”
This is the latest charge that Kanter will face after he insulted President Erdogan and Kanter is also charged with being a member of an armed terrorist group. Kanter has been vocal about his support for Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric blamed by Turkey for last year’s failed military coup.
