The Kütahya 3rd High Criminal Court has issued a public notice requiring defendant Gökberk Aksu to appear in court in a case involving alleged drug trafficking or supply.

The court said it had issued a direct arrest warrant during the proceedings because multiple arrest warrants existed for Aksu. An investigation was conducted under Articles 188/3, 188/6 and 53 of Turkey’s Penal Code, and public proceedings began after an indictment was filed.

The notice states that the alleged offense falls within the provisions of Article 248/2 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Aksu must apply to the court within 15 days of the notice being posted at his known residence. If he does not do so, the court may impose measures provided for under Article 248.

The court also said that, after the required procedures are recorded in an official report, Aksu could be declared a fugitive if he fails to apply within a further 15-day period. Proceedings against him will continue. The notice was dated Sept. 3, 2026.
