Fake Diploma Case Against Fatma Ünal Adjourned Until January 22
The “fake diploma” case in which Fatma Ünal, former National Unity Party (UBP) Kyrenia Women’s Branch Chair, is standing trial has been adjourned until January 22.
The second preliminary inquiry (PI) hearing in the case was held today at the Morphou District Court, where the court ruled to postpone proceedings to 22 January at 11.00 in order to continue hearing witness testimony.
During the hearing, the prosecution’s second witness, Fahri Mert Dülger, a Recreation Department student who also worked as a part-time driver at the university in 2023, took the stand. Dülger told the court that he was employed on a part-time basis at the university during 2023, where he carried out various delivery and transport tasks within the campus.
Dülger testified that in December 2023, acting on instructions he received via WhatsApp from Berke Özbek, he collected a completed thesis prepared in the name of Fatma Ünal from a copy centre. He said he was then sent a location and delivered the thesis to Ünal’s sister at Juju Boutique.
Stating that he had handed over all correspondence related to the matter to the police, Dülger said he did not personally know Fatma Ünal, but identified the person involved in the messages as being the same individual shown in photographs.
The court will continue hearing witnesses when the case resumes on 22 January.
