At least 10 years in prison for drug dealing for singer İlyas Yalçıntaş

In the indictment prepared by the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that an investigation was launched against Yalçıntaş upon information obtained from the previous investigation files and the intelligence work and informant interviews carried out by the Istanbul Provincial Gendarmerie personnel that publicly known names were using drugs or stimulants and offering them to each other.

In the indictment, it is stated that 2 grinders used to grind marijuana, precision scales and a jar thought to contain plant crumbs were seized during the searches made at the defendant's address, and it was noted that the voice and text conversations the defendant made with people registered as "Aytaç Kartt" and "Mami Rodi" via the messaging application on his mobile phone were for the purpose of trading drugs and stimulants.

In his statement, the defendant Yalçıntaş, who is included in the indictment, stated that "he did not use drugs, the substance in the jar was thyme sent by his mother, the grinding apparatus was given as a gift by his friend named Buğra Ateş, and the sensitive scale was used to control his diet because he was involved in sports."

In the indictment, which pointed out that as a result of the examination of Yalçıntaş's blood and hair samples, the metabolite of THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, and cocaine were detected, it was emphasized that a prison sentence of not less than 10 years was requested for the defendant for the crime of "trafficking or providing drugs or stimulants".

The indictment sent to Bakırköy High Criminal Court was accepted.

The court decided not to have jurisdiction over the file because the defendant's address was outside the jurisdiction of the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

The indictment was then sent to the Istanbul 19th High Criminal Court.
