New judicial year begins with high profile cases on agenda
Türkiye’s 2026-2027 judicial year will begin on Sept. 1 after a six-week judicial recess, bringing a series of high profile criminal and corruption cases back before the courts.
During the break, duty courts continued to hear cases involving detained defendants and matters deemed urgent, while other proceedings were suspended.
Several closely watched cases in Ankara are set to resume. On Sept. 3, proceedings will continue against 76 defendants in the case involving the Ayhan Bora Kaplan organized crime group, following an appellate court ruling that overturned an earlier decision.
A case involving nine defendants accused of financing FETÖ through the Ankara operations of the restaurant Maydonoz Döner, which was placed under the trusteeship of the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF), is scheduled for Sept. 17.
