Turkish YouTuber Arif Kocabıyık was arrested after being found hidden in a truck attempting to illegally cross the border into Bulgaria. Kocabıyık was subject to a travel ban but attempted to circumvent it by concealing himself in the truck’s trailer at the Kapıkule border crossing. Both Kocabıyık and the truck driver were taken into custody and presented to the judicial authorities following customs procedures. Authorities determined Kocabıyık violated his judicial control measures by attempting to leave the country. A court subsequently ruled to detain Kocabıyık pending further legal proceedings. The incident highlights efforts to enforce travel restrictions and the consequences of attempting to evade them.
