Letter sent from MIT to the prosecutor's office

It was stated that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, within the scope of the investigation launched ex officio against journalist Tolga Şardan for the crime of "publicly disseminating misleading information" regarding his article titled "What is in the 'judiciary report' that MIT submitted to the Presidency?", wrote a letter to the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) asking about the report claim.

It was stated that a response letter was sent from MIT to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office stating that no such report exists.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had launched an ex officio investigation, evaluating that the content of the article by journalist Tolga Şardan titled "What is in the 'judiciary report' that MIT submitted to the Presidency?", which appeared on the T24 news site on October 31, contained statements and declarations of a nature that would constitute the elements of the crime of "publicly disseminating misleading information."

Şardan, who was detained at his home in Ankara within the scope of the investigation, was arrested by the judgeship to which he was referred on November 1.

Following the objection of Şardan's lawyers to the arrest, the Istanbul 1st Criminal Judgeship of Peace decided on November 6 to release him with a judicial control measure including a travel ban, taking into account that the evidence had been collected.
