Arda Turan: Barcelona midfielder given suspended sentence for firing gun
Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan has been given a suspended sentence of 2 decades and eight weeks for firing a gun to induce illegal possession of weapons and panic, fear and deliberate harm.
Turan, who’s presently on loan with Turkish club Basaksehir, won’t go to prison unless he commits a crime in the subsequent five decades, after a court deferred the implementation of the verdict.
The 32-year-old was included in a fight with singer Berkay Sahin in an Istanbul nightclub last year, leaving the singer with a busted nose.
Turan arrived in the hospital with a gun that he fired in the floor, causing panic.
Basaksehir stated they had fined the 31-year-old 2.5 million Turkish lira (#350,648) for the episode.
Turan joined Barcelona from Atletico Madrid to get 34 million euros (#30m) at 2015, winning four prizes, making 55 appearances and scoring 15 goals for the La Liga club.
Turan has performed Turkey 100 occasions and scored 17 goals.
