In the case of the non-commissioned officer-imam relationship, the verdict: 4 people sentenced to 13 years in prison.

The final hearing of the case initiated based on allegations that G.K., a female non-commissioned officer serving in the Gevaş district of Van, had the imam I.S. assault military personnel for robbery, was held.

THEY WERE RELEASED

According to a report by Seyhan Avşar from Gerçek Gündem, the court sentenced G.K., O.E., Ö.K., and T.Ş. to 13 years in prison for the crime of "Qualified Robbery."

However, the court reduced the sentence to 6.5 years, taking into account the defendants' compensation for the victim's damages, and decided on their release.

TENSION ESCALATED

During the hearing, Gendarmerie Specialist Sergeant Orhan Ersoy turned to Non-Commissioned Officer Gül Kılıç and used a harsh expression, saying, "You are an escort."

While these words were recorded in the court minutes, it was learned that Kılıç frequently cried during the court proceedings.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

The incident that occurred on August 28 came to light with the complaint of assault and robbery made by imam I.S. to the gendarmerie station; G.K., the female non-commissioned officer who denied the allegations against her, stated that she had been subjected to sexual assault and had been beaten, and filed a criminal complaint through her lawyer. However, the prosecutor's office decided not to pursue this request.

In the indictment prepared by the prosecutor's office after the investigations, it was stated that 55,530 TL was transferred in two parts from imam I.S.'s mobile banking application to the account used by civilian T.Ş. Additionally, the prosecutor's office requested the military personnel involved in the crime to be punished for "qualified robbery."
