Controversial Release Decision for the Defendants in the Ezgi Apartment Case

In the Ezgi Apartment case, where 35 people lost their lives, a decision was made to release the defendants who were found to have caused the disaster by cutting the load-bearing columns of the building. The defendants, for whom a prison sentence of 876 years was requested, were released with the reasoned decision of the court.

The court ruled that the defendants committed their actions not with the intention of "what if" but with the thought of "what if it happens". This legal evaluation formed the basis for the release of the defendants on the grounds that there was no direct intent.
