The prosecutor has submitted the indictment against the ex-husband of Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputy Fatma Salman. An aggravated prison sentence is demanded for the deputy’s ex-husband on domestic violence charges.

Ankara Public Prosecutor Emine Avcıoğlu completed the indictment within 14 days, charging Salman’s ex-husband İdris Kotan for malicious wounding. The court has approved the indictment and has decided to hold the first hearing of the trial on March 28.

Fatma Salman filed a criminal complaint against her now ex-husband and the Ankara Public Prosecutor’s Office assigned Avcıoğlu to the case. Avcıoğlu prepared an indictment with the charge of “malicious wounding” and submitted it to the Ankara 13th Penal Court of First Instance. The court approved the indictment and determined the trial date on Dec. 5. The prosecutor demanded a prison sentence of from one to three years for malicious wounding, while also demanding that the sentence be aggravated as the offense was committed against a kin in the direct line.
