Pianist Davide Martello, who had his piano seized and was detained before his scheduled recital at Mehmet Ayvalıtaş Square in Kadıköy, has been deported.
Martello made a post on his Instagram account regarding the events, titled "Finally back in the democratic world."
In his post, Martello stated that during the moments his piano was being seized, he was forced by police to make a post saying, "I will not be able to play tonight."
Stating that his vehicle's trailer was damaged, the pianist used the following expressions:
"While I was there, they tried to detach my trailer from my car. They didn't succeed, but in the process, they damaged the hydraulic braking system of my trailer. I didn't notice it at first, but when I arrived at the Bulgarian border, I realized that the braking system was broken and the trailer's tires had overheated. Throughout the journey from Kadıköy to Bulgaria, I felt that my car was struggling to pull the trailer. Then, a well-intentioned Bulgarian guard at the border noticed this and told me about the situation."
Martello also stated that he was followed by plainclothes police officers from Kadıköy all the way to the Bulgarian border.
Martello used the expression, "They issued a strange fine regarding the solar panels on my trailer (to charge my e-piano), and I didn't even pay it. I think they were trying to find an excuse to deport me."
