Sontv, a news site known for its close ties to the government, targeted the judge presiding over Ekrem İmamoğlu 's diploma case. Sontv, which explicitly named the judge, claimed that judicial circles were also "disturbed" by the Supreme Court. Criticism was leveled that the judge's hearing decisions were exacerbating İmamoğlu's visibility.

There was a courtroom crisis, as well as tension between the gendarmerie and lawyers before the hearing. After lengthy discussions, the hearing was moved to a larger courtroom. Sontv criticized the judge for holding the hearing in the larger courtroom, asking, "Why this insistence?"
