Editing Mehmet Agar (section)

==Forming an armed organization to commit crimes:==
Failing to report the whereabouts of the absentee defendant Abdullah Çatlı to the authorities and helping him hide, despite knowing his location;
Abusing his office by unlawfully granting weapon carrying permits to Abdullah Çatlı and Yaşar Öz and facilitating the issuance of special (green) passports to them. (He was providing identification for Grey Wolves members to travel with fake identification throughout the world to commit terrorism, including the attempted assassination of the Pope).

On September 15, 2011, the Ankara Special Authorized 11th High Criminal Court ruled that Mehmet Ağar, who had served as Minister of Justice, Minister of Interior, Party leader, Governor, and Director General of Security, was the "leader of a criminal organization" and sentenced him to 5 years in prison in the Susurluk case.

Ağar was considered to have served 3 years of his 5-year sentence due to the enforcement law. He chose the Yenipazar district prison in Aydın province to serve the remaining two years. Ağar was released 361 days before the end of his sentence, benefiting from the supervised release provision in the law known as the 3rd Judicial Package, while he still had one year left of his two-year sentence. The Yenipazar district prison, where Ağar partially served his sentence in accordance with the laws, had been emptied under the pretext of painting before he surrendered to prison. During his conviction, Ağar stayed in a separate ward from three other prisoners in the district prison.
