The details of the indictment prepared against Mehmet Ali Erbil, who is accused of illegal betting advertising and promoting it, with a request for up to 3 years in prison, have emerged. In the indictment, it is stated that Erbil, who said, "I did not understand that the expressions on the t-shirt were betting advertisements," particularly instilled the desire to make easy money among young people and children, promoting illegal betting and gambling, and that he harmed society by normalizing this situation.

FROM THE INDICTMENT

It was stated that he particularly instilled the desire to make easy money among young people and children.

''IT WAS A VIDEO TAKEN AS A MOMENT''

In the indictment, which also includes the statement given by the suspect Erbil at the Prosecutor's Office, he mentioned that a mutual friend named Barış invited him to a hotel opening in Malta with Serdar Ortaç, saying, "They had prepared a studio in a stand-up show style. They invited us there, and they tried to shoot. The owner tried to make me wear a t-shirt. I learned after the incident that this t-shirt contained betting advertisements, and I opposed it. In those broadcasts, I have statements like 'gambling is very dangerous, I have never played in my life.' I did not receive any payment or material gain from these individuals in exchange for my appearance in these videos. We had this conversation in a light-hearted environment, but they tried to trap us with this incident. I did not understand that the expressions on the t-shirt were betting advertisements; I appeared in the video without being aware of it. I have never placed any bets or gambled on such sites in my life. I was a guest there. I did not disrupt because I was a guest. It was a video taken as a moment; I was not filmed for publication," he said.

NO THREAT OR COERCION IN THE VIDEO

In the prepared indictment, considering the recognition and visibility of the suspect Mehmet Ali Erbil in the media sector, it was stated that it cannot be expected for him to accept every invitation from people he does not know beforehand and with whom he has no friendship or acquaintance without any benefit, and that even being hosted in Malta falls within the scope of benefit. Additionally, it was stated that the environment in the video was completely safe, far from any threat or coercion, and that there was no environment containing any threat or coercion. Even if the accusation were to be accepted as true, it was noted that he had the opportunity to call the Turkish Republic Embassy to explain the situation and ask for help without needing the law enforcement agencies of the country he was in, and on the other hand, it was recorded that he had no legal application until the date his defense was taken after entering the country.

REQUEST FOR UP TO 3 YEARS IN PRISON

In the prepared indictment, it was requested that the suspect Mehmet Ali Erbil be sentenced to imprisonment of 1 to 3 years for the crime of 'encouraging individuals to advertise and otherwise to play fixed odds or joint betting or games of chance based on sports competitions.' The indictment, which has not yet been accepted by the Istanbul Criminal Court of First Instance, is still under review by the court.
