In her statement, the woman who introduced herself as a "prosecutor" and made threats on the bus she boarded in Istanbul said, "I did not introduce myself as a police officer. I am a law school student. I only said that my dog is a narcotic breed." On the other hand, it was revealed that the woman had introduced herself as a "police officer" and made threats during a dispute that arose the day before when she wanted to board another bus with her dog.
Turkey is discussing the woman who introduced herself as a prosecutor and threatened the passengers on the bus. The incident, which started because the young woman did not put a muzzle on her dog, turned into a debate as the passengers reacted to the situation. 21-year-old Yaren S., who has 8 criminal records, told a passenger she was a prosecutor and made threats. After the footage spread on social media, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office intervened.
ONE DAY AGO SHE ALSO SAID "I'M A POLICE"
The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation ex officio on charges of "threat" and "inciting hatred and enmity among the public." The suspect, who was taken into custody, was referred to the peace criminal court with a request for arrest. It was learned that Y.S. had a total of 8 records for "theft," "intentional injury," and "drug" offenses.
It was claimed that one day before the incident, Yaren S. introduced herself as "police" and threatened the passengers during a dispute that arose when she wanted to board the bus with her dog on another IETT trip.
YAREN S. WAS A DROPOUT FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
It was determined that Yaren S. was not a public prosecutor, that she had dropped out of the Justice Vocational School, and that she still had an active student registration in the Faculty of Open and Distance Education, Department of Medical Documentation and Secretarial. It was reported that the young woman, who is not a university graduate, worked as a sales consultant.
HER STATEMENT HAS EMERGED
According to the news from Dilek Yaman Demir of NTV; the suspect did not accept the charges in her statement given at the police station. Yaren S. stated that she did not introduce herself as a police officer or prosecutor, saying, "Those who filed a complaint against me claimed that I introduced myself as a police officer. I did not introduce myself as a police officer. I am a law faculty student. I only said that my dog is a narcotic breed."
SHE WAS REFERRED TO THE COURT WITH A REQUEST FOR ARREST
The 21-year-old suspect was referred to the Peace Criminal Court with a request for arrest. The request stated, "It is claimed that the suspect committed the crime of 'Publicly Inciting Hatred and Enmity or Insulting' by saying to a woman wearing a headscarf, in a manner that would disturb public peace and humiliate a segment of society, 'bigot, take a breath, I will put air in your brain if you don't breathe'."
The judicial process regarding the young woman is ongoing.
