Controversy Aziz Yıldırım accused Galatasaray of introducing match-fixing to Turkey in the first place, citing as an example Galatasaray’s 8–0 victory over Ankaragücü on the final matchday. Galatasaray were crowned champions at the end of the season on goal difference.
In response, Galatasaray filed a criminal complaint against Yıldırım’s statements. Yıldırım was later acquitted in court, which, in his view, implicitly confirmed Galatasaray’s match-fixing."Galatasaray'ın şike yaptığı burada tescilleniyor" ("This proves that Galatasaray engaged in match-fixing"), April 2021
Galatasaray also appealed against the court’s decision. They lodged appeals with the next higher courts (Istanbul Regional Court of Appeal and Court of Cassation), but these were all dismissed.Aziz Yıldırım'ın 'Bu ülkeye şikeyi sokan Galatasaray'dır' sözleri sonrası açılan davada karar (The verdict in the case brought following Aziz Yıldırım’s statement that ‘It was Galatasaray who brought match-fixing to this country’), October 2020
