Kürsat "Chico" Yildirim, the lotto millionaire known for his extravagant lifestyle, is presently under police investigation due to serious allegations made by his ex-girlfriends. This latest development arises not from his lavish lifestyle, which includes luxury cars and globe-trotting travels since winning €9.9 million, but from accusations of insult following derogatory remarks directed toward his former partners.
The investigation began when Candice Newgas, Yildirim's ex-girlfriend, lodged a complaint against him for insulting her during a livestream on the platform Twitch. Details from the complain reveal a tumultuous relationship; Yildirim and Newgas were together from December 2022 until their breakup mid-2024. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the fallout from their time together continues to reverberate.
According to reports by the tabloid Bild, Chico made incendiary comments during his streams. He allegedly stated, "Ich schwöre auf meine Mutter, ich baller sie weg. Dieses dreckige Miststück, Alter. Verpiss dich!"—translated as, "I swear on my mother, I’ll take her down. This filthy piece of shit, dude. Get lost!" The public language used by Yildirim has raised eyebrows and sparked outrage, leading to the complaint filed against him.
Chico's manager has since spoken on the incident, claiming, "An das spezielle Video kann Chico sich gar nicht erinnern. Die beiden hatten schöne Zeiten und haben auch mal gestritten. Es gab unangebrachte Aussagen von beiden Seiten," translating to, "Chico doesn’t even recall the specific video. They had good times but also had arguments. There were inappropriate statements from both sides." This statement attempts to mitigate the perceptions surrounding Yildirim's conduct, yet it has done little to assuage public concern.
Looming over these allegations is the shadow of another ex-girlfriend, Renata, who has come forward with even graver accusations. She asserts Chico not only abandoned her but also distanced himself from her 13-year-old daughter after winning the lottery. Renata expressed her pain, stating, "Chico hat meine Tochter zerstört," which translates to, "Chico has destroyed my daughter." Her allegations suggest emotional trauma inflicted on her child due to bullying at school following Yildirim’s public discussions about his lottery win.
Renata claims Chico had promised to marry her and adopt her daughter but severed ties following his windfall. "Er hat mir versprochen, mich zu heiraten und meine Tochter zu adoptieren," she remarked, underscoring feelings of betrayal as her daughter, who was once close to Chico, was abruptly cut off from him on WhatsApp soon after the win. The mother described how the situation spiraled, leading to extensive emotional fallout for her child, who began to experience severe bullying at school, with peers pressuring her for money.
The fallout from these incidents has led to dire consequences for Renata’s daughter. The psychological impact has been substantial, leading to chronic absenteeism from school and the necessity for her to switch institutions. "Meine Tochter hat massive psychische Probleme," she reported, citing severe emotional distress as the direct result of Yildirim's actions—effects which have not gone unnoticed by the surrounding community.
Despite facing these allegations, Chico continues to maintain his public persona, recently announcing on social media his new relationship. He described feeling elation, saying, "Ich hab' Schmetterlinge im Bauch," meaning, "I have butterflies in my stomach." This statement, intended to express happiness, has done little to overshadow the darker narratives currently surrounding him.
Chico’s legal troubles mount amid this whirlwind of public interest, with police investigations underway as authorities look closely at the accusations made by both Candice and Renata. It remains to be seen what the consequences of these allegations will have on his glamorous lifestyle and the personas of those involved.
The intense scrutiny on Yildirim raises broader questions about accountability, especially for individuals thrust suddenly from obscurity to fame and affluence. While the investigation may take time, the public’s thirst for updates on Chico’s life remains unabated as the saga continues to unravel.
