T.R. BAKIRKÖY 7TH HIGH CRIMINAL COURT

A Turkish court has sentenced defendant Alper Zinğer to 3 years and 4 months in prison plus a 25,000 TL judicial fine for fraud committed by using banking or credit institutions' information systems, per a ruling by the Bakırköy 7th Heavy Penal Court (case 2024/606, decision 2025/465). Because Zinğer could not be reached at any known address and has multiple outstanding arrest warrants, the verdict is being served by public notice in a nationally distributed newspaper under Turkey's Notification Law. The ruling becomes legally served 15 days after publication, after which Zinğer has 15 days to appeal to the Istanbul Regional Court of Justice; otherwise the decision becomes final. The notice matters as the formal trigger for the appeal clock in a case where the defendant remains at large.
