Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Turkish prosecutors have filed an indictment against five lieutenants expelled from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) following the sword-swearing ceremony, charging them with "slander" (iftira). The indictment seeks prison sentences for the officers as well as deprivation of various rights. The case stems from a ceremony that drew scrutiny over the lieutenants' oath-taking, leading to their dismissal from the military. The specific prison terms requested were not disclosed in the report. What to watch next is whether the court accepts the indictment and sets a trial date, with the proceedings likely to draw attention to civil-military tensions in Turkey.
