Mustafa Doğan İnal proudly announced that Turkey emerged victorious at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) against Akın İpek, a key FETÖ member. Sharing his joy on social media, İnal extended his gratitude to all contributors, highlighting the crucial role played by LEXIST Law Office in securing this important triumph.


The Akın İpek Case


Akın İpek, a prominent member of FETÖ, initiated a legal case against Turkey at ICSID following his move to the UK after a trustee was appointed to manage his assets in Turkey. Despite his efforts, the case concluded with Turkey's victory, marking a significant setback for İpek and his business ventures.



Ipek's decision to challenge Turkey's actions by filing a case with ICSID underscored the dispute's intensity. Relocating to the UK and contesting his Turkish asset management revealed the case's complexities. However, ICSID’s ruling in favor of Turkey not only thwarted İpek’s efforts but also highlighted the strength of Turkey’s legal stance on the international stage.
