The trial of the Newborn Scandal, which shocked Turkey with illegal healthcare practices and negligence, has started. The network is accused of illegally transferring newborns to intensive care units in private hospitals for profit and causing deaths through negligence. A total of 47 defendants, including 22 currently in custody, appeared before the court in Istanbul for the first time.
Key defendant, nurse Hakan Doğukan Taşçı, denied the charges. In his defense, he refuted allegations of tampering with hospital records and commission fraud. Taşçı claimed he acted under doctors' orders and had suffered from the accusations. However, statements from other parties highlighted chilling details, particularly implicating Fırat Sarı in profiting from the transfer of babies. It is alleged that families were overcharged while hospitals were underpaid, with the surplus pocketed by the accused.
Threats to the Prosecutor and Additional Arrests
Another shocking development was the death threats received by Büyükçekmece Public Prosecutor Y.E., who is overseeing the investigation. Suspects linked to these threats have been arrested, and the prosecution continues its efforts undeterred.
Trial Proceedings
After starting yesterday, the court adjourned until 10:00 AM today. The case has captured significant public and media attention due to its profound impact on the collective conscience. Families continue their quest for justice, and the evidence and defenses presented by the defendants are expected to play a crucial role in the court's decision.
Expectations
This trial is not only a test of ethical integrity in the healthcare sector but also of the justice system’s determination. The verdict on the Newborn Scandal is crucial for restoring public trust in Turkey’s healthcare system.
