Arrest under Catalog Crimes

Article 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure No. 5271 stipulates that for the measure of detention to be applied, there must be concrete evidence demonstrating a strong suspicion of guilt and a reason for detention. The same article further stipulates that a reason for detention may be deemed to exist if there is a strong suspicion that one of the catalog of crimes listed above has been committed.

Catalog of Crimes and Other Security Measures

During investigations or prosecutions related to cataloged crimes, security measures other than arrest may also be applied. These security measures include:;

  • Arrest
  • Judicial Control
  • Seizure
  • Call
  • Catch
  • Under-eye
  • Monitoring with Technical Equipment
  • Undercover Investigator
  • Detection and Recording of Communications

Wiretapping outside of cataloged crimes cannot be accepted as evidence on its own.

In light of the aforementioned legal regulations, in order to obtain a wiretapping order as part of a criminal investigation, there must be strong grounds for suspicion that a crime has been committed and that it is impossible to obtain evidence by any other means; furthermore, the crimes under investigation must be among those regulated in paragraph 6.

Yargıtay Ceza Genel Kurulu’nun 2013/10-483 esas 2013/599 karar ve 10.12.2013 tarihli kararında da, “… İfade alma ve sorgunun 5271 Sayılı CMK’nın 148. maddesinde sayılan şekillerde yapılması, tanıklıktan çekinme hakkı olan kişiye bu hakkının hatırlatılmaması delil elde etme yasaklarına; duruşmada tanıklıktan çekinen tanığın önceki ifadesinin okunamaması, telekomünikasyon yoluyla yapılan iletişimin denetlenmesi sırasında elde edilen delillerin aynı kanunun 135.maddesinin altıncı fıkrasında sayılanlar dışında bir suçun soruşturma ve kovuşturulmasında kullanılmaması ise delil değerlendirilmesi yasaklarına örnek olarak gösterilebilir.” şeklinde belirtilen yasak delil niteliğinde olan kanıtların hükme esas alınamayacağı ifade edilmiştir.

Bu itibarla, Sanığa atılı eylemin suç tarihi ve ele geçen eşyanın niteliğine göre, 5752 Sayılı Kanun ile değişik 4733 Sayılı Kanunun 8/4.maddesine aykırılık suçunu oluşturduğu ve CMK’nm Given that Article 135/6 of Law No. 4733 does not contain a provision allowing wiretapping in relation to crimes falling under this law, it should be considered that communication interception records alone cannot be accepted as evidence., Instead of acquitting the defendant, who was not caught with the smuggled cigarettes in question and who stated in his defenses throughout the proceedings that he did not commit the alleged crime, and for whom there is no other sufficient evidence to convict him of the alleged crime, a written conviction was issued.,
