In the face of the realization that it has been finalized,
As mentioned in the decision of the Criminal General Assembly of the Supreme Court of Appeals, dated 09.07.2013 and decision numbered 2012/2-1518, principle-2013/154,
Certain “sine qua non” conditions are sought in order for criminal proceedings to be carried out. One of these conditions, which hinders judgment, is the absence of a verdict or lawsuit, which is expressed as “Non bis in idem”.
Applied as a living legal norm without being expressly written in laws
The principle of “Non bis in idem”, which is also accepted in the doctrine and is one of the main principles of the law of procedure, is in the third paragraph of Article 253 of the CMUK numbered 1412; “If there is a previous verdict or a lawsuit filed against the same defendant on the same subject, the case shall be dismissed”, in the seventh paragraph of Article 223 of the CMK numbered 5271, which entered into force on 01.06. It is regulated as “If there is a previous judgment or a lawsuit filed for the same defendant due to the same act, the case shall be dismissed”. As it can be understood from these regulations, if there is a previous judgment or a lawsuit filed against the same defendant due to the same act, the lawsuit will be dismissed.
In the light of these explanations,
223/7 of the CMK, the public case brought against the defendants mentioned in our concrete case due to the actions carried out on the same date against the same complainant. While it should be decided to be rejected pursuant to the article, it is decided to convict the accused in written form by continuing the trial, by showing the change in the character of the crime,
2-As a result of the examination carried out on the forged identity card and passport, in the appraisal report dated 29.06.2010 by the Istanbul Criminal Police Laboratory, it is stated that the still existing photographs in the passport and identity card, which are the subject of the crime, were pasted after the photograph in the same places was removed;
As the details are explained in the resolutions of the General Board of Penalty dated 14.10.2003 and numbered 232-250, 09.10.2012 day 2011/8-335 and numbered 2012/1804, the document must have an objective deception quality and the deception must be understood objectively from the document. In order for the crime of forgery to occur in the document, the document that has been edited or changed or used must be of a nature that deceives the person that it is real. The deception feature is the main element of this crime, and unless it is subjected to a special examination, a document that cannot be understood to be authentic should be considered as a fake document. It should be determined without a doubt whether the forgery is capable of deceiving people (objectively) and whether it is understandable at first glance. The discretion and determination of whether there is the ability to deceive documents in forgery crimes is up to the judge. Making a written decision as a result of incomplete examination without keeping the original document in the file,
3- In the action stated as the incident in the indictment (1st), the defendants received 40,000.-TL in cash in exchange for 2 checks of 24.000.-TL before the date of the incident from the participants dealing with the white goods trade due to the cash needs of … and …. The interview, which was recorded on tapes, where the defendants … and … asked for help from the accused …, who was not a party to the debt-credit relationship, in the recovery of these checks, fearing that the debt in question would be subject to enforcement proceedings after the efforts of the participant, who wanted to collect the receivable when the checks were due, were in vain. It is clear in the records that these issues are clearly understood, the defendants … and the accused … went to the workplace of the participant and talked about the debt, and the accused … tried to intimidate himself by introducing himself as a state official, but insisted on receiving the checks in the ongoing process. According to the phone call records, the accused tried to get the checks back by taking advantage of the name and power of the accused for the second time. In the concrete incident, the person who went to the workplace with two people whose identities could not be fully identified, left the scene by forcefully taking 14-15,000.-TL cash and checks of the person who joined with the threat of a gun,
a) Conviction of the accused on the charges of looting and membership of a criminal organization, in a written form with appropriate and insufficient justification, without the evidence showing that he directly or indirectly participated in the looting against the participant, without being discussed and shown on the spot in a way that will allow inspection,

c) It is plundered from the participating …
Regarding the alleged cash and checks, in the hearings dated 01.08.2012 and the following, in line with the demands of the defendant … defense that “after the full determination of the damage that has occurred, the possibility of implementation will be given to them in accordance with Article 168 of the Law No. or giving a written decision, continuing the proceedings, without considering that the court should make an ex officio determination and provide a reasonable time to meet it,
4- According to the content of the reversal number (3), it is left undisputed at the place of decision whether an application can be made with the 39th article of the Law No. 5237 about the accused …
