The detention of Süper Lig referee Yasin Kol as part of an investigation into referees in Turkish football continues to be a major topic of discussion. It was stated that Kol was detained in Trabzon following the match between Drogheda United and Trabzonspor, and that a search was conducted at his home.
It was reported that an investigation is being conducted into Kol regarding allegations of "illegal betting," "complicity in forgery of documents," and "misconduct in public office." The investigation is said to be linked to the process known in the public eye as the "referees file."
Following the news of his detention, Yasin Kol's profession before his refereeing career also became a subject of curiosity. It was learned that Kol, who completed his education at Sürmene High School, worked as a security guard at Karadeniz Technical University.
Kol, who began his refereeing career in lower leagues, rose to higher divisions after serving in the Regional Amateur League. Kol, who served as a fourth official in the Süper Lig for the first time on March 3, 2019, began officiating matches as a center referee in the Süper Lig starting from the 2020-2021 season.
Yasin Kol, who also officiated in derbies over time, has once again entered the football public's agenda with this latest development. It is a matter of curiosity how the process will proceed within the scope of the investigation.
