The videos have detailed allegations of illegal activities against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government.

A series of videos released by a fugitive Turkish mafia boss that detail allegations of illegal activities by the Turkish government have reached more than 75 million views on YouTube.

"I've added [Peker's videos] to the category of TV series I watch every week," Gulistan Atas said."Just like a TV episode, I wait in excitement, and every week on Sunday, we prepare our breakfast when we get up and watch them along with our breakfast." Erdogan ignored the Peker videos for weeks, but broke his silence on May 26, when he dismissed earlier allegations by the mafia leader as a conspiracy against Turkey.

The ruling party and its nationalist allies have blocked opposition bids to launch parliamentary inquiries into Peker's claims as well as into the arms smuggling allegations.Can Selcuki, the director of polling and analysis platform Turkiye Raporu, said of Peker,"We shouldn't forget that he's a criminal," but explained the videos' popularity as a need for information.
