It was decided to acquit Sadettin Saran and Ela Rümeysa Cebeci separately

The second hearing of the case filed against businessman and former Fenerbahçe President Steven Sadettin Saran and announcer Ela Rümeysa Cebeci, within the scope of the drug investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, is being held at the Istanbul 4th High Criminal Court.

While the detained defendant Cebeci and his lawyers attended the hearing, Saran, who was at the first hearing, did not attend.

Rejecting the accusations in his defense, Cebeci stated that he had a romantic relationship with Saran in the past and said, "Sadettin Saran has been in my life for 20 years. The correspondence between us is a joke between two people who flirt and flirt with each other. I did not obtain drugs from anyone, nor did I provide them to anyone."

Answering the judge's question about liquid marijuana, Cebeci said, "I have never used drugs in Turkey. I tried it once in America and quit."

Cebeci, who was also asked about his correspondence with Cem Yılmaz regarding the THC-containing electronic cigarette, claimed that the conversations were just jokes. The presiding judge said that the electronic cigarette in the photograph was determined to contain THC in the expert report. Cebeci rejected this finding.

Explaining the positive result of the drug test with the claim that his hair may have been contaminated with external substances, Cebeci stated that there were no drugs in his blood and urine.

PRISON REQUEST FROM THE PROSECUTOR

After the defense, the prosecutor announced his opinion on the merits and requested that Saran and Cebeci be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than 10 years separately for the crime of "supplying drugs".

Cebeci, who could not control his tears after the interview, said, "I do not understand what evidence it is based on. I do not accept the accusations, I demand my acquittal."

The case is expected to be decided today.
