DEVA Party Chairman Ali Babacan reacted to the method of detention of Fenerbahçe Club President Sadettin Saran.

While the detention of Fenerbahçe Club President Sadettin Saran within the scope of a drug investigation continues to be discussed; a striking statement came from DEVA Party Chairman Ali Babacan.

"WOULDN'T HE HAVE COME IF CALLED ON THE PHONE?"

Babacan, in a statement made on Tivi6, said, "In an environment where the president of one of Turkey's major football clubs can come when called from abroad, if you were to say to the same person today, Saadettin Saran, you would call him on the phone, 'Hey friend, we have a few more questions, we are waiting for you at the courthouse at this hour,' wouldn't he come? Would he not come to the courthouse from abroad? Why are you sending police to his home and taking him away with police escort, right? These are the issues that undermine the sense of justice in Turkey."
