A Turkish court sentences Fenerbahçe chairman Sadettin Saran to 2 years and 6 months in prison after finding him guilty in a case related to the promotion of illegal betting, according to reports. The Istanbul ruling comes in proceedings tied to allegations that Saran and his brother, Kenan Saran, encouraged or incited illegal betting activities. Cyprus Mail reports the court finds Saran and his brother each receive two years and six months. Daily Sabah similarly reports the sentence is 2.5 years behind bars. The sentencing is reported to take place shortly before Fenerbahçe holds a congress to elect a replacement for Saran, reflecting how the decision affects the club’s leadership plans. The reports present the outcome as a criminal conviction connected to illegal betting promotion or incitement, without detailing any separate penalties or appeal outcomes.
