She is a reporter with the Cumhuriyet Newspaper. Ocak published a news story reporting that the Ministry of Treasury and Finance Berat Albayrak had purchased plots of land along the future trajectory of the Istanbul Canal Project, and Albayrak filed lawsuits against her for “insult”, demanding one year, two months to two years, four months in prison as well as moral compensation of 200 thousand TL. On October 27, 2020, Ocak was acquitted in the trial for the charge of “insult”. Currently Ocak faces five to 14 years in prison as well as 250 thousand TL in moral compensation for her news story about the Bosphorus residence of Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun. Over her article “Luxurious Appurtenances with View over Bosphorus”, Cengiz Holding’s Chairman Mehmet Cengiz filed a lawsuit for 1 million TL in damages; and over her articles on the public tenders organized by Gaziantep’s Şahinbey Municipality, she faces yet another lawsuit for 20 thousand TL in damages. The trials continue and she is not under arrest.
