In Istanbul, prosecutors asked the police to identify and arrest Tiktok users who joined the new trend

Prosecutors in Istanbul started an investigation against a new Tiktok trend where users post videos of themselves hiding their money after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan’s image appears behind them.

The trend that went viral was the latest of a series that protests the government’s economic policy that resulted with a currency crisis and runaway inflation. 

In the videos, Erdogan’s recorded voice says "Take out the foreign exchange and gold from under your pillows," when his image appears behind the users as if he was eyeing the banknotes they are counting in their hands. 

The prosecutors asked the police to identify and arrest the users after it started the investigation for the crime of "insulting the President."
