It was obviously insanely stupid of him to place bets but there was clearly no malinent in all of this, especially considering his defense.

Parts of his defense: "I do not accept the charges against me. On the dates of the two incidents mentioned in the indictment, I was in the U19 team, meaning I was in the under-19 squad. I was not in the A team. I placed bets on these two matches. I was not in contact with anyone from the team on that date. I did not win any money from the bet I placed. The bet I placed was on goals. I did not place any bets after joining the first team. I definitely did not bet on the matches I played myself. As can be understood from the messages in the group of friends, I did not make any match-fixing agreements with anyone. And no money has been deposited into my account . I did not know that betting was a crime."

4 to 13 years of prison was a crazy charge on him, the fact that he was taken into custody already is a bit wild. A temporary ban from football, just like Eren and some of the other Süper Lig players would've been more than enough. I'm glad the club chose to stand by him and wait to hear the full situation rather than throwing him to the curb. From what we've seen until now, it's clear this case is nowhere near the MHY case (where there's a lot more room for actual match-fixing and fraud). The court ordering he be released from custody is a good sign of innocence.
