Sharing his joy on social media, İnal acknowledged everyone involved and highlighted the pivotal role played by LEXIST Law Office in securing this significant victory.
The Akın İpek Case
Akın İpek, a prominent figure in FETÖ, initiated legal proceedings against Turkey at ICSID after moving to the UK, driven by the appointment of a trustee to oversee his Turkish assets. Despite his attempts, the case concluded with a favorable verdict for Turkey, delivering a substantial defeat to İpek and his enterprise.

However, the ICSID's decision in favor of Turkey not only thwarted İpek’s efforts but also demonstrated the strength of Turkey’s legal position on an international stage.
