Turkish authorities charged Kopçak with wiretapping fraud ID cardς, απάτη υποκλοπή πρόσβασης, hacking and online forgery, as reported by the Sabah newspaper.
During the same year, following complaints from 43 bank customers, the hacker was sentenced to imprisonment a little less than 200 years (199 years 7 months and 10 days).
