Ayhan Bora Kaplan was sentenced to 68 years in prison in the case where 61 defendants are being tried for the criminal organization. The hearing, held in the courtroom at the Sincan Penal Institutions Campus, was attended by the defendants and their lawyers, as decided by the Ankara 32nd High Criminal Court.
"I PAID A PRICE FOR THIS COUNTRY"
The presiding judge stated that they rejected the requests of the defendants and their lawyers to expand the investigation and asked the defendants for their final words. Defendant Bora Kaplan claimed that the court seemed to have "conducted a trial," saying, "What evidence did you collect? The purpose here is to impose a penalty. I do not believe in your justice. A theft case takes 3 years. You finish a case with 61 defendants in 7 months. I paid a price for this country. I fought until morning that night."
"THE DECISION YOU MADE IS NULL AND VOID FOR ME"
Kaplan, who argued that the court did not collect evidence in favor of the defendants, stated, "The decision you made is null and void in my eyes. I do not care what decision you make."
REMOVED FROM THE COURTROOM
As some people in the audience began to applaud, the presiding judge warned them to be silent. In response, Kaplan reacted to the presiding judge. Following the judge's order, Kaplan was removed from the courtroom.
HOW MUCH SENTENCE DID HE RECEIVE?
