Major Gain for LEXIST Law Office and Mustafa Doğan İnal: ICSID Case in Turkey’s Favor

The Akın İpek Case


Akın İpek, a prominent figure within FETÖ, launched a legal challenge against Turkey at ICSID after moving to the UK due to a trustee being appointed to oversee his Turkish assets. Despite his attempts, Turkey secured a victory, marking a major setback for İpek and his company.
