The fifth day of the trial of the newborn gang has come to an end! Here are all the details.

The fifth day of the trial of 47 defendants, including 22 who are in custody, who are members and managers of the Newborn Gang, which has been unfairly profiting by transferring babies to hospitals they have agreements with and causing their deaths through negligent behavior, has concluded. The trial will continue tomorrow at 10:00 AM with its sixth session. It has been learned that in the session to be held tomorrow, the organization leader Fırat Sarı will present his defense.

HERE ARE ALL THE DETAILS

On the fifth day of the trial, the first to take the stand was Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir, one of the key figures of the gang, who is an ambulance driver. In the indictment, it is stated that Özdemir is a 112 ambulance driver, and in order to fill the intensive care units of the hospitals operated by Fırat Sarı, he acted contrary to the ASKOM algorithm, convincing the family of the baby patient first, then performing a treatment rejection process for the patient without obtaining a provision number from the 112 call center, and making it appear as if this patient had not gone to any other hospital, thus facilitating an emergency admission to one of the operating hospitals and receiving money per transfer as a result of this process. It is also claimed that he sometimes introduced himself as "Doctor" Ahmet during his conversations with the 112 transport unit.

I ADMIT THAT I EARNED MONEY BY DIRECTING PATIENTS

According to journalist Emrullah Erdinç and Rojda Altıntaş; the presiding judge read the charges against him and the defendant began his defense:

• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I do not accept the charges, but I admit that I earned money by directing patients. I want to clarify a fact here: There are only 4 incubator ambulances in Istanbul. It takes at least 2 hours for these ambulances to reach a patient. Therefore, transferring a patient in need of intensive care from a medical center takes an average of 5-6 hours.
• A patient should go to the hospital as soon as possible, but the current rules do not allow this process to be expedited. For this reason, the transfer chain is broken through people like us, and a hospital is found. We use the ambulances of private hospitals by talking to doctors and obtain a protocol from the 112 Emergency Call Center. Thus, the transfer process, which takes 5-6 hours, can be resolved in 45 minutes.
• Is this a more suitable solution from the patient's perspective? I leave it to the court's discretion. I would also like to point out that in hospitals without an intensive care unit, it takes 30 minutes to report the situation to 112. In public hospitals, finding a suitable hospital takes much longer.
• For this reason, hospitals contact us. We find a suitable hospital for the patient within 45 minutes. In the European side of Istanbul, there are only 4 incubator ambulances to transport babies. In contrast, every hospital with a neonatal unit in private hospitals has incubator ambulances.

“THE PROSECUTOR IS MALICIOUS”

• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I believe that I was intentionally accused by Prosecutor Yavuz Engin due to being a 112 ambulance driver. Despite the indictment being 1400 pages long, I see that the statements of the personnel working in the 112 transport unit outside Istanbul have not been taken. This situation harbors malice from my perspective. I also think that all 112 employees have been left with a perception of suspicion.
• They hold me responsible for the deaths of 10 babies because they portray me as an organization manager. I would like to state that this was done maliciously again by Prosecutor Yavuz Engin. Kaya Bebek is not a baby transfer; it is a pregnant transfer. Only my name is mentioned regarding Kaya Bebek.

“I ALSO MAKE ADULT TRANSFERS”

• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I am a 112 ambulance driver and I am here as an organization manager, but I admit that I direct patients in all branches. I find it malicious that only the newborn tape recordings are taken into account while there are so many tape recordings. I also make adult transfers, and this issue has nothing to do with Fırat Sarı.

HOSPITALS PAY ME WHEN I DIRECT 5 PATIENTS A MONTH

• Presiding Judge: There is a money transfer between your wife and Fırat Sarı.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I said that I made a financial gain. I received payments from Bağcılar Şafak Hospital, Birinci Hospital, and Medisense Company for directing patients. I did not receive payment from Esenler Güney Hospital.
• Presiding Judge: Who did you deal with at Birinci Hospital?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Ali Aksu.
• Presiding Judge: Who did you talk to at Medisense Company?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Dr. Fırat Sarı.
• Presiding Judge: How much did you receive?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: There is no specific fee per patient. Generally, when I direct 5 patients a month, the hospitals evaluate and make payments.
• Presiding Judge: Did you say Bağcılar Şafak Hospital?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Yes.
• Presiding Judge: Who did you talk to?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I spoke with Mustafa Kazan.

“YOU SPEAK AS IF THE PATIENTS HAVE BEEN WRONGED”

• Presiding Judge: How did you find those patients? Did you find them from the patient information because you worked at 112?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I found them because I had connections. An accusation has been made as if I spread 112 data, but this happened due to situations that could not be reported to 112. How can I spread data without a referral being written?
• Presiding Judge: You speak as if the people have been wronged, that they could not apply to 112, and that you helped them. (The presiding judge read a statement. The statement mentions that the patient was prevented from being reported to 112.)
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: When I say "I will not report," I do not have a situation of not reporting.

THE ISSUE OF SYRIAN BABIES.

• Presiding Judge: İlker Gönen mentioned a Syrian baby. You said, "I am waiting for a Turk," is that correct?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I do not remember, but let me defend myself anyway. Regarding the Syrian-Turkish issue, I can say this: If the 112 transport unit does not accept a Syrian patient, it cannot transfer a Turkish patient. This is what I am talking about.

“WHY DO YOU NOT WANT THE PATIENTS TO BE DISCHARGED?”

• The presiding judge reads the tapes of Fırat Sarı and Özdemir.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I accept my hasty remarks regarding discharge transfers.
```html


• Judge: At the beginning of your speech, you said that you were directing not only to Fırat Sarı but also to other places. Were you checking the discharge numbers there?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Yes.
• Judge: Didn't Fırat Sarı say, "What do you care about my discharge numbers?"
• Judge: Why don't you want the patients to be discharged? Why does it concern you?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I was overwhelmed by whether there were vacancies in the hospitals or not.
• Judge: There is a conversation between Murat Mantuş and Fırat Sarı. He says, "There is a decrease in the number of patients," and "I talked to Mert, he will increase the number." Why?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: It was such a conversation because I was directing patients.
• Judge: Were you in contact with Fırat Sarı?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I was always in contact because he operated the intensive care unit.

MONEY RECEIVED FROM A HOSPITAL

• Judge: How much did you receive from Mustafa Kazan? (Bağcılar Şafak Hospital)
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I received 67 thousand once, and 45-50 thousand TL once for patient transfers.

QUESTIONS ABOUT "WE ARE VERY VISIBLE"

• Judge: You are talking to Çağla Durmuş, and you say, "Everyone knows where we work, we are very visible." What does this mean?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Because my official duty is 112 ambulance driving. But I didn't want this to be known because I was transferring patients.
• Judge: Are you only worried about yourself?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Yes, for myself.

"I ONLY HAVE NO AGREEMENT WITH FIRAT SARI"

• Judge: What do you say about the statement, "If the discharge period decreases, our earnings decrease"?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: It was a conversation I made out of eagerness.
• Judge: You said, "Why are we keeping a patient we can't get paid for?"
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: It was again an unnecessary conversation.
• Judge: You said, "If a patient dies, don't do anything to the other side."
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: It was something I said to explain the situation. Patients misunderstand, and their relatives cause trouble. I gave a metaphorical example so that such a situation would not happen again. Also, I made a warning in the sense of "If you misinform, don't blame the other hospital."
• Judge: You said, "If he is dead, they will not give me money," and you said they would send you 1,000 lira.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: This conversation was related to the sending of money to me after the transfer of an adult intensive care patient and a baby. As I said, I only had no agreement with Fırat Sarı.

I HAVE HAD AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER HOSPITALS

• Judge: You said, "I no longer make 112 notifications."
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Yes, so that there are no problems. If reported, transfers cannot be made, I did it this way for time management.
• Judge: In this conversation, you are complaining, you are panicking.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: No, I did not say to 112, "I cannot find a place for babies," and I am not panicking.
• Judge: It was said regarding the Serdarova baby, "The doctor will get paid."
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I was out of the transfer process regarding the deceased Serdarova baby. Payment was to be made to the doctor.
• Judge: "I know you work with Fırat Hoca, I will give you 10 thousand lira, support us," it was said.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I received payment from this hospital. During the period I operated with Fırat Sarı, I also had agreements with other hospitals. I received payments in pieces around 45-60 thousand lira; I made patient transfers.
• Judge: Fırat says, "He ruined me, payments have decreased."
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: This was a conversation related to the low number of patients.

"SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE THIS EMPTY"

• Judge: How many tasks are you dealing with while working at 112? You are doing TAG (Martı TAG), you are directing patients.
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Sir, I am on duty for 12 hours and take 36 hours off.
• Judge: So you shouldn't be this empty. We are also on duty, we are working.

JUDGE'S REACTION: IF THE PROSECUTOR HAS DONE HIS JOB, IS THIS MALICIOUS INTENT?

• The Judge reacted to Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir's statements about the "malicious prosecutor": Why is the prosecutor malicious? If he has done his job, is this malicious intent? Is doing his job malicious intent in your eyes? If the prosecutor does not pursue this matter, it becomes malicious intent.

QUESTION ABOUT ÇAM SAKURA

• Judge: You say that births have decreased at Çam Sakura. How do you know?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Maybe I know from an obstetrician I know.

GAVE NAMES OF INTERMEDIARY PERSONS

• Member Judge: Who are the intermediary persons you mentioned?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Emrah Dulkaya from Gaziosmanpaşa and Florya Medikalpark, Şahin Bayraktar from Asya Hospital.
• Member Judge: Anyone else?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: That's all I can remember.
• Member Judge: A name from the file?

• Member Judge: What does he do?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: He works at Okan University.
• Member Judge: Well, is Renas Kılıç an intermediary person?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: No, I do not know him.

"I KNOW THAT EVERY HOSPITAL HAS OPERATIONS IN ALL UNITS"

• İlker Gönen's lawyer asked 112 ambulance driver Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: Do you know any other operators in the sector?
• Gıyasettin Mert Özdemir: I know that every hospital has operations in all units.

DEFENSE OF THE DOCTOR HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF 5 BABIES

"FAMILIES WERE INCITED, WHO WILL STAND UP FOR US?"

Defendant Gönen, who works as a doctor at Medisense company and is accused of causing the deaths of babies Kadan, Ayaz Karaduman, Öykü Helvacı, Havanur Karakoç, and Kerem Muhammed Tokluoğlu due to negligent behavior, made a defense. In his defense, Gönen stated, "The Karakoç baby had problems with his intestines. The baby came from Yalova. The baby's condition worsened. He underwent surgery in Bağcılar. Then he was transferred. The baby passed away 64 days later. The nurses called me for 64 days. We were giving the baby formula, it was coming out of his mouth. I am being accused of the baby dying because he could not be fed. After the Karakoç baby passed away, the police came and seized all the files and took the baby to the morgue of the Forensic Medicine Institution. An autopsy was performed on the baby. According to the report, the cause of death of this baby was not malnutrition, but a rupture of the intestines. With my presumption of innocence, while there is a confidentiality order on everything, how is it that these allegations are being published page by page in the news channels, but my lawyer cannot reach them? Is this what God allows? Families were incited. Who will stand up for us?" he said.

"MY LAWYER SAYS THEY DID EUTHANASIA WITHOUT BRINGING THE FILE TO ME"

In the continuation of his defense, defendant Gönen stated, "For the second baby Tokluoğlu, I am being accused of performing euthanasia for the first time in the history of the Republic of Turkey by not allowing heart massage on this patient. The child is born without oxygen. The child is intervened for about 2 hours. They find words that will touch people's nerves like 'passive euthanasia'. In the media, before my lawyer brings me the file, they say they have done euthanasia. People's feelings are being played with. Violence in healthcare is increasing. Because of me, 47 people are being accused of infanticide. Who will account for this?" he said.

"I MAY HAVE A CRIME, BUT NO ONE CAN LABEL ME AS A BABY KILLER"

İlker Gönen stated, "Everyone may have a crime. I may have a crime, but no one can label me as a baby killer. When the baby Kadan was born, they sent me a video. In the video they sent me, nothing was clear. Fırat Sarı called me the day after the baby passed away. He told me that there might be something regarding the cause of the baby's death. I said that the baby had passed away, and it had been 1 day. I am being accused of murder for not reporting a non-existent lung explosion. Is it that easy to spread such slander, lies, and meddling? What is the reason for me to be subjected to this slander? What is the purpose? What is the reason for giving so much to the media? Who do you want to put in a difficult situation? The people who wrote this expert opinion made allegations, and no one asked how this expert opinion was prepared. I am being accused of infanticide here. No one could stand by us. There was such pressure created in the media. What did we do?" he defended.

"OUR GUILLOTINE WAS PLACED BY THE EXPERT OPINION, AND THE MEDIA DELIVERED THE KICK"

Defendant Gönen stated, "In the Helvacı baby case, I am being accused of not administering adrenaline to the baby with a killer's mentality. For 2 months, I can neither stay in prison nor sleep anywhere else. Tapes are circulating page by page from morning till night. Who can restore our reputation? I stand before you accused of 5 deaths.
