Having attacked Anadolu Agency (AA) reporter Ekrem Biçeroğlu and broken his chin in a row following a traffic accident, Doğukan S. and Ufuk A. were referred to the court with a request for their arrest. In referring them to the court, the written notification indicated that Biçeroğlu had been wounded to such an extent that it was not possible to treat him with a simple medical intervention and emphasized the flight risk as well as the inadequacy of judicial control measures at that stage. The Criminal Judgeship of Peace on Duty ruled that the suspects should be released on probation (July 5).
