Turkish sources reported on Sunday that the chief public prosecutor's office of Istanbul has issued arrest warrants for five individuals suspected of disseminating false information on social media during the second round of the country's presidential election.

The Milliyet newspaper said that an investigation has been launched into the social media accounts that shared false information about the elections, noting that the intent behind such actions was to disrupt public order and distort public perceptions.
