Mehmet Pehlivan, the lawyer of the detained president of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Ekrem İmamoğlu, was taken into custody due to the statements given by two suspects who benefited from the effective remorse provisions within the scope of the 'corruption' investigation.
REQUEST FOR HIS ARREST
Pehlivan, who was taken into custody, was referred to the court with a request for arrest on the charge of "being a member of an organization established for the purpose of committing a crime" after his procedures at the police.
REFUSED TO GIVE A STATEMENT
Pehlivan, who went to the Istanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan, refused to give a statement at the prosecutor's office because the Ministry of Justice did not request an investigation permit as required by the attorney law.
DECISION MADE
The court decided to arrest Mehmet Pehlivan, the lawyer of Ekrem İmamoğlu.
HE WAS ALSO TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON MARCH 27
Pehlivan was also taken into custody on March 27 under the "Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering." After spending one day in custody, Pehlivan denied the allegations against him. He was released under judicial control conditions.
