Decision made to continue detention for Dilan and Engin Polat

The lawyer for Dilan and Engin Polat, who are currently in custody as part of the investigation into the armed attack on Banu Parlak's beauty center, filed an objection to their detention with the Küçükçekmece 3rd Criminal Court of First Instance.

Evaluating the objection, the court panel stated that there is a risk of flight after considering the total sentence duration prescribed by law for the crime the defendants are charged with, the ratio of the time spent in custody to this duration, and the state of the evidence in the file.

The court ruled for the continued detention of defendants Dilan Polat, Engin Polat, Sezgin Polat, Batuhan İnci, İsmail Emre Arifoğlu, Nizamettin Bilgili, Onur Abiç, and Yunus Emre Yıldız.

BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
