Local media reported on the 25th (Korea time) that Turkiye Superi has filed a criminal complaint against director Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce.
It started against Derby. Galatasaray drew 0-0 against Fenerbahce in the derby match on the home turf. The draw allowed Galatasaray to maintain its lead by six points over Fenerbahce.
Prior to the match, the two teams asked foreign referees, not from Turkiye, to host the match. As a result, Slovenian referee Slavko Vinci took the whistle.
Mourinho was asked about the performance of 19-year-old defender Yusuf Akciczek at a post-match press conference. Then Mourinho "I think I should thank the referee. He made a big dive in the first minute of the game, and the opponent's bench ran around like a monkey"If it were a Turkiye referee, a yellow card would have been given (to Archie Check) a minute later, and five minutes later, we would have to change him."
Galatasaray was furious at this.
Galatasaray said in a statement that since he began working as a director in Turkiye, Fenerbahce director Jose Mourinho has consistently made insulting remarks toward our people and that it is now expanding beyond mere immorality to inhumane appearances. He added that "'We will officially declare the preparation of criminal proceedings in connection with this statement and make an official complaint to UEFA and FIFA.'" We will also carefully watch how Fenerbahce, an organization that professes to adhere to exemplary moral values, will respond to the reprehensible actions of their directors.
Mourinho and Fenerbahce have not made an official stance on this.
