Child abuse content was detected on Ferdi Karadoruk's phone

IT WAS DETECTED THAT AN OBSCENE VIDEO INVOLVING CHILDREN WAS UPLOADED!

7 suspects were detained within the scope of the "Referees File" investigation organized by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the Provincial Police Department against the top management of Turkish arbitration. A shocking finding emerged in the digital investigations of Ferdi Karadoruk, the President of the Istanbul Branch of the Turkish Football Referees and Observers Association, one of the suspects whose interrogations are continuing at the police station, and it was determined by the NCMEC report that an obscene video involving children was uploaded from Karadoruk's WhatsApp account on his phone. Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office appointed a forensic IT expert for Karadoruk, who said, "My account was compromised (hacked)."

HE SAID THE PHONE NUMBER SUBJECT TO THE CRIME: "I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR 18 YEARS"

In the investigation carried out within the scope of the investigation, it was determined that the phone was used by Ferdi Karadoruk on the date of the incident. In his statement taken about the incident, Karadoruk admitted that he had been using the line in question for 18 years and that the line was registered in the name of his mother. However, he argued that he did not share the obscene image and claimed that his WhatsApp account was taken over by third parties in January 2024.

THE "MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN TAKEN over" DEFENSE WAS NOT HELD

Karadoruk stated that he sent an e-mail to WhatsApp support on January 15, 2024, stating that his account had been compromised and submitted the screenshots to the file. In the expert examination, Karadoruk's message to WhatsApp was "Whatsapp Account Blocked! IMPORENT LEVEL!" It was determined that he complained about his account being blocked in the e-mail, but he did not make any notification that his account was stolen by third parties.
