According to the information obtained, teams from the Konya Provincial Police Department's Anti-Narcotic Crimes Branch had been tracking lawyer A.İ., who had been using drugs on different days, for some time. Following the investigation, it was determined that last week, lawyer A.İ. had left the city with his friend I.Ç. in a vehicle that did not belong to him and traveled to Istanbul.

After the vehicle used by lawyer A.İ. re-entered the Konya city center, it was placed under surveillance again by narcotics teams. The vehicle, in which the lawyer and his friend were traveling, was then brought to a controlled stop. During the search conducted by police teams, 25,000 narcotic pills were seized inside boxes in the trunk of the vehicle.

"I BROUGHT THE PILLS FROM ISTANBUL, I DON'T KNOW WHO I WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM TO"

The driver, lawyer A.İ., and his friend I.Ç., who was with him, were taken to the police station to have their statements recorded. After completing the procedures at the police station, lawyer A.İ. and his friend were referred to the prosecutor's office. In his statement there, it was learned that A.İ. said, "I went to Istanbul to meet with a client regarding a case. After we talked about the case there, the subject turned to drugs. Later, the person I was meeting with said he had synthetic pills with narcotic properties. After I gave him 360,000 liras in cash, he put the package he brought into the trunk of the vehicle and we came to Konya. I did not know who I was going to give the package to in Konya."

It was also learned that I.Ç., who was with lawyer A.İ., said in his statement, "Before we set off, A.İ. only told me let's go to Istanbul and come back, I had no knowledge of the drugs."
