Murder plots against journalists, systematic cocaine smuggling from Latin America with branches still up to ministerial level.
The deal is so snappy that it sounds like it's a new season of the TV series Narcos.
But for the Turkish government, the deal is bloody serious, with serious accusations against some of the heaviest names in the country's political elite.
Accusations of cocaine smuggling and journalist murder
Among them are Interior Minister Suleyman Solyu, who has been singled out for links to organized crime, the son of former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, who is accused of being involved in creating a new cocaine smuggling route from Venezuela to Turkey, and former police chief and Justice Minister Mehmet behind the murder of two famous journalists.
Government officials turn a blind eye to the accusations and wave away Sedat Peker as a dishonest gangster whose words are not worth taking seriously.
There is also no doubt that he is a gangster among the Turkish public.
Sedat Peker is notorious as an ultranationalist arch-villain, who seems to thrive in the public role of Turkey's most notorious criminal.
Crisis of confidence in Erdogan's government
Despite this, the mafia leader's move has gained significant ground among Turks.
The impact is felt not least in social media.
Many write that there must still be something in the accusations and the deal gives a thorn in the already established confidence in Erdogan's government, which is fighting headwinds with the crisis economy.
Just a few years ago, Sedat Peker was seen as a "government-allied gangster" who staged protests in support of Erdogan's government and threatened its opponents with violence.
That is why he is perceived in Turkey as a defecting whistleblower - albeit an unscrupulous one.
Fleet Turkey 2020
Sedat Peker fled Turkey in early 2020 to escape prosecution.
He is now in the United Arab Emirates, a regional enemy of Turkey, from where he releases his videos on Youtube.
Peker says he wants revenge on the Turkish government because he believes he has been ignored and let down.
He is particularly upset that Turkish police stormed his home in Turkey and pulled a gun on his wife and daughter.
He has also made a big deal out of the fact that the police have gone through his wife's underwear during the house search.
Requires new investigation into journalist murder
The mafia leader seems to have been inspired by the TV series' dramaturgical grip with cliffhangers.
He constantly gives small guesses as to what revelation he will tell about, and builds up an expectation in the audience.
Relatives of the murdered journalist Ugur Mumcu demand a new investigation in the light of Sedat Peker's information about the murder plot.
Reporters Without Borders also provides support for the demand for a new investigation.
A small indication of how serious this scandal is for the Turkish government.
The question is whether the current strategy of denying itself through the scandal holds or whether President Erdogan will find a scapegoat in his own ranks.
