According to him, the court ruled that his detention on 31 October 2015 “is executed in the format of a military operation” and detention.

“The trial, which lasted from 26 to 28 December, with virtually no break – also declared illegal. Violation of the right to a fair trial violated the presumption of innocence in relation to me and more. The operative part consists of 9 paragraphs,” wrote the Korban.

As a next step, the businessman announced the filing of a complaint in the expanded chamber of the ECHR. “To prove political persecution as the leader of the political parties DILL at the moment,” he explained.
