Categories of lies
The defendant officers and their counsel have compiled a "list of lies" showing how claims repeated across the indictment, reasoned decision, regional appeals court ruling, and Court of Cassation decisions are refuted by concrete documents. The 120 lies fall into five categories:
Category 1 — Legality of the investigation
The claim that "the investigation was unlawful": the wiretap orders were issued by competent judges, and the judges who issued the orders were themselves acquitted in subsequent trials — shown with documentary evidence.
Category 2 — Limits of police authority
The claim that "officers acted without judicial order": each step of the operation was carried out under a judicial order; the documents in the file demonstrate this.
Category 3 — Element of force and violence
For the "coup attempt" charge, not a single act of force or violence is shown to have materialized — confirmed by the records in the file.
Category 4 — Digital evidence
The technical claims regarding ByLock, payphone use patterns, and chat records — and how they collapse in light of Yalçınkaya v. Turkey (ECtHR 2023) — are refuted in the defense.
Category 5 — Procedural steps
Over 50 documented refutations relating to detention grounds, the absence of wiretap records from the file, the ignoring of expert reports, and other procedural steps.
