Following this verdict, this first hearing was held at the 11th Heavy Penal Court at the Çağlayan Courthouse in İstanbul. His lawyers asked for acquittal. The court ordered a "red notice" warrant for Akhanlı so that he could be heard in court.. After seven years, Akhanlı was detained in Spain on Saturday.
Kararın bozulmasının ardından ilk duruşma İstanbul 11. Ağır Ceza Mahkemesi'nde görüldü. Mahkeme usule göre Akhanlı'nın da dinlenmesi için Kırmızı Bülten çıkarılması talebinde bulundu.
