15-year prison sentence demand for the so-called responsible of DAESH, captured by MİT! He asked for active repentance.

Ahmet Kazancı, who lives in Konya, allegedly became close to a magazine that supports the DAESH terrorist organization. Later, the organization contacted DAESH's Turkish media manager Özgür Altun, codenamed 'Ebu Yasir Al Turki', online. Kazancı later went to Iran and then to Pakistan to join DAESH in 2023, before Ağrı Gürbulak. Ahmet Kazancı, who took the code name 'Ebu Ubeyde/Ebu İbrahim' in the organization, joined the organization's media managers and ensured the functioning of Telegram channels. Kazancı, who entered Turkey illegally last June and was determined to carry out his organization's activities there, was caught by MİT members in an operation carried out in the Hakkari Yüksekova border region. Kazancı, who was brought to Konya after being detained, was arrested in court.

A PRISON SENTENCE OF UP TO 15 YEARS WAS REQUESTED

The trial of Ahmet Kazancı, against whom an indictment was issued with a request for a prison sentence of up to 15 years for the crime of 'being a member of a terrorist organization', started at the Konya 2nd High Criminal Court. Kazancı, whose statement was taken at the hearing held today, said, "I went directly to join DAESH in 2023. I first went to Iran and then to Pakistan. There I was taken to the base area in the mountainous area. After a while, I went to the city and started working in the media field. I was archiving posts on a channel in Telegram. After a while, I was taken back to the mountains. Later, I learned that Abu Yasir was caught. I wanted to escape from the organization and someone from there helped me. I went to the city with mules through the smugglers I arranged. "I went to Hakkari's Yüksekova district and was caught here," he said.

"WHEN I WATCHED THE VIDEOS, THEY OFFERED A ROSY LIFE"

When asked by the presiding judge, "What influenced you to leave?", Kazancı said, "Shariah. I went of my own accord. They claimed it was their own land. When I watched the videos, they offered a rosy life. That's how I wanted to leave. I do not accept the accusation of being a media officer. I did small jobs there."

HE WANTED TO BENEFIT FROM THE EFFECTIVE REGRET PROVISIONS

Stating that he wants to benefit from the provisions of effective repentance, Kazancı said, "I want to benefit from the provisions of effective remorse. This is why I came." In his opinion, the public prosecutor requested a prison sentence of up to 15 years for Kazancı. The hearing was postponed for the final defense.

WHAT HAPPENED?

MİT brought Ahmet Kazancı, who used the code names "Ebu Ubeyde" and "Ebu İbrahim", to Türkiye on June 17, after capturing him in the border region during the operation against the DAESH terrorist organization's "Horasan Province" media structure.

Kazancı, whose procedures at the Konya Provincial Police Department were completed, was arrested by the criminal judgeship of peace at the courthouse to which he was referred.
