Karabay, who was taken into custody, was taken to the Istanbul Police Department in Fatih.

	Karabay was detained on December 7, when Justice Commission Chairperson Bekir Altun Un, who came to the public agenda with the letter sent by Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor İsmail Uçar to the Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK), filed a criminal complaint for "slander" and "insult". Karabay, whose testimony at Istanbul Çağlayan Courthouse was completed, was released under judicial control.
