Arı is facing up to six years in prison over his reporting on corruption allegations.

Among the reports cited in the accusations is Arı’s coverage of Erdoğan family members serving on the boards of several foundations.

Arı was taken into custody during a family visit over the Eid holiday. “They’ve been looking for an excuse to arrest me for over a year. My only crime is practicing journalism in this country. Journalism is not a crime," he said following his arrest.

Two months ago,a court order banned 143 URLs containing content related to fraud allegations against Uysal upon his request.

Arı had covered a tender in which Mustafa Varank's cousin secured a contract.
