Judge Ali Dursun Turan has put an annotation in the decree of conviction issued on the drug trafficking lawsuit filed at Alanya Assize Court and stated, “Even though the defendant is prosecuted due to activities related to drug trafficking, during a time that connections of some politician’s relatives with drug trafficking are revealed through their dances with mafia leaders and no investigation is opened against them, penalising defendants who commit lighter crimes do not fit the definition of justice. This is why I do not agree with the opinion of the respected majority of the court board.” Republican People’s Party (CHP) Mersin Parliament Member Ali Mahir Başarır announced that Turan was exiled to Siirt and was later suspended from his profession.
