Court Orders Official Notification for Fraud Convicts

A Turkish court has sentenced two individuals, Lütfü Kurt and Ozan Felitoğlu, to three years and four months in prison each. The conviction is for fraud committed by using information systems, specifically targeting banks or credit institutions. The crime occurred on September 8, 2023, and the verdict was issued on April 2, 2026.

The Adana 13th High Criminal Court is attempting to notify the defendants of the detailed verdict. However, attempts to deliver the court's decision to their registered addresses have failed. Investigations revealed that the defendants no longer reside at their last known addresses, and their current whereabouts remain unknown.

Consequently, the court has ordered the summary of the verdict to be published officially. This serves as formal notification to Kurt and Felitoğlu. They have a period of seven days from the date of publication to file an appeal. If they do not appeal within this timeframe, the court's decision will become final.
