The verdict has been announced in the case against Necati Coşkun Arabacı, who was tried in İzmir on allegations of being the leader of the criminal organization named Hell's Angels. The court sentenced Arabacı to a total of 15 years and 6 months in prison.
HE WAS FACING UP TO 35 YEARS IN PRISON
The investigation into Necati Coşkun Arabacı, known particularly for being seen with luxury vehicles, began when he was detained at İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport in 2025. After procedures at the police station, Arabacı was arrested, and he was later released by the Criminal Court of First Instance under judicial control measures. However, after the İzmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office objected to the decision, a detention order was issued for Arabacı again. In the indictment prepared after the investigation was completed, it was requested that Arabacı be sentenced to up to 35 years in prison.
HE WAS TRIED FOR MULTIPLE OFFENSES
In the indictment prepared by the İzmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, various charges were brought against Arabacı. These charges included 'organizational leadership', 'aggravated robbery', 'aggravated intentional injury', and 'violation of the Law on Firearms and Knives and Other Tools'. After the indictment was accepted by the İzmir 20th High Criminal Court, Arabacı's trial began. During the trial process, allegations regarding the organizational structure, acts of injury against victims, and unlicensed weapons charges were evaluated.
THE COURT ANNOUNCED ITS VERDICT

The court panel sentenced Arabacı for the offense of 'establishing and leading an organization for the purpose of committing crimes'. In addition, penalties were imposed for intentional injury against two different victims and for injury with a weapon and carrying an unlicensed firearm, which were evaluated within the scope of organizational leadership. The court sentenced Arabacı to a total of 15 years and 6 months in prison for these offenses.
HE WAS ACQUITTED OF OTHER CHARGES
Although the indictment prepared against Arabacı requested a prison sentence of up to 35 years, the total sentence handed down by the court was 15 years and 6 months. The panel issued an acquittal regarding the other charges evaluated within the scope of the trial.
