In Turkey, figures connected to the Turkish mafia are experiencing a feeling of confidence as expressed in their public appearances and remarks.
On Sunday, Turkish broadcaster Yol TV shared a video recorded over TikTok of mafia leader Alattin Çakıcı enjoying a meal outdoors surrounded by a suited entourage. After finishing his meal, Çakıcı exits, flanked by a convoy of black cars.
This mafioso grandeur is not in any way itself more than a display of pomp from a godfather of Turkish organised crime, but the swagger of it embodies the confidence felt by mafia figures today in Turkey.
