Decision summary

The criminal judgeship ordered Ahmet Özer's pre-trial detention on an allegation of membership in an armed terrorist organization.

Outcome: Özer was placed in pre-trial detention; the order became one of the administrative grounds for his suspension and the trustee appointment the next day.

Legal effect: The measure is tracked separately because it deprived an elected local official of liberty before the criminal investigation concluded and had practical consequences for his office.
