It is also stated in the indictment that the phone conversation was recorded by Polat's employees with the phone number being visible.
PRISON SENTENCE IS REQUESTED
The indictment states that Engin Polat shared these images on his social media account with the complainant's phone number being visible. It is also mentioned that "The suspect, who has given his statement regarding the incident, has admitted to the charges.
