Not sure why msn article focused on how having that many kids could be just fine if family dynamic is healthy rather than on this little factoid.

"Their Instagram photos might present the idea of a picture-perfect life, however, there is more than meets the eye. Galip Ozturk is in fact a fugitive Turkish magnate who is wanted in his country for soliciting murder. He used his money and connections to escape a life sentence in Turkey and is currently settled in Georgia. He met his present wife, Kristina, a year ago in Georgia when she was only 23 years old. Galip and Kristina Ozturk are now being featured in global news for their extraordinarily 'large' family."
