Ozcan Aytemiz, ‘Supa Turk,’ Arrested on Drug Supply Charges Following Anzac Day Incident

[Bodybuilding News]

On April 25, 2025, Ozcan Aytemiz—widely recognized in Australia’s fitness scene as the “Supa Turk”—was apprehended by NSW Police in Cabarita, Sydney. Authorities responded to reports of a break-in on Cabarita Road around 11:00 a.m., where they discovered Aytemiz allegedly leaving a residence in possession of illicit substances. According to police, he attempted to dispose of a liquid-containing bottle, believed to hold GHB, as officers intervened.

During the confrontation, Aytemiz allegedly resisted arrest and assaulted the officers involved. The confrontation resulted in minor injuries to police personnel.

Charges Filed Against Ozcan Aytemiz​

Following the incident, Aytemiz was detained and charged with a total of 10 offences, including:

• One count of supplying a prohibited drug
• Three counts of possessing a prohibited drug
• Break and enter
• Assaulting police
• Tampering with evidence

Additional charges are linked to the substances discovered during a follow-up search of his property, where officers reportedly seized quantities of GHB, cocaine, and methamphetamine.

Aytemiz was processed at Burwood Police Station and subsequently appeared at Parramatta Bail Court on both April 26 and April 29. Bail was denied on both occasions. He remains incarcerated, with his next court date scheduled for May 14, 2025.

Criminal History Prior to Recent Arrest​

Earlier this year, on January 29, Aytemiz was convicted of multiple offences including:

• Driving while disqualified
• Possession of a prohibited drug

He was fined $300 and sentenced to an 18-month Community Corrections Order. These earlier convictions provide context for his legal trajectory, signaling a pattern of behavior that now appears to have escalated.

From Fitness Fame to Criminal Charges: The Fall of ‘Supa Turk’​

Ozcan Aytemiz first gained public recognition over a decade ago as a member of Sydney’s iconic ‘Aesthetics Crew’, a group of muscular, social media-savvy young men who inspired a generation of gym-goers. The crew’s fame was closely tied to the late Aziz "Zyzz" Shavershian, whose death in 2011 marked the end of an era but left a legacy in Australia’s fitness culture.

As a self-proclaimed disciple of Zyzz, Aytemiz toured the country’s nightclubs and expos, embodying the shredded, high-energy physique and party lifestyle that defined a movement. But as the years passed, public attention shifted, and Aytemiz's presence gradually faded from mainstream fitness platforms.

Substance Seized and Alleged Intent​

The substances reportedly recovered from Aytemiz’s possession—gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), methamphetamine, and cocaine—are commonly linked to recreational abuse and distribution. GHB, often associated with nightlife environments, has been increasingly scrutinized by law enforcement due to its potential for abuse and implication in drug-facilitated crimes. Methamphetamine and cocaine remain high-priority targets in New South Wales' narcotics enforcement.

Authorities allege that Aytemiz was in possession of these substances in sufficient quantity to support a charge of drug supply, not just personal use.

The Broader Impact on Australia’s Fitness Influencer Community​

This arrest highlights the ongoing intersection between fame and accountability in Australia's influencer culture. Aytemiz, once a motivational figure for young lifters, is now under intense legal scrutiny. His case sends a stark message to social media personalities navigating the line between personal branding and criminal behavior.

As Australian law enforcement continues to target drug-related crimes, high-profile arrests like Aytemiz’s reinforce the risks associated with public figures leading double lives.

Next Steps and Legal Outlook​

Ozcan Aytemiz remains in custody at a correctional facility pending further court proceedings. Legal experts suggest that the combination of existing convictions, the nature of the current charges, and his denial of bail could result in a lengthy sentence if found guilty.

We will continue monitoring developments closely, especially as his May 14 court date approaches. The outcome could serve as a pivotal precedent in how the Australian justice system handles fitness influencers involved in criminal activity.
