former Mayor Zülküf Karatekin. The no. 2 Serious
Criminal Court ordered the release of the 32 after
dealing with an application from the defence based
on the excessive time spent in custody. The court
ordered the release of 30 of the defendants despite
the request of the prosecutor to order the continued
custody of all 32 defendants in the case.
