A court panel conducted an on-site inspection at Dilovası Municipality on Tuesday as part of the trial concerning a factory fire that killed seven people. The panel examined the digital licensing system and permit processes, questioning municipal staff on operational procedures.

Tensions flared after the inspection when victims' families and defense attorneys argued outside the building. The dispute erupted after a defense lawyer made remarks about 15-year-olds being employed at the factory, prompting angry reactions from relatives.

The court came today to see the operation at the municipality. They brought one man who comes once a month; he couldn't answer our questions.

Saruhan Efe Kadaifçi, attorney for victims' families

Attorney Saruhan Efe Kadaifçi, representing the families, said the court was shown a municipal employee who visits only once a month and lacked knowledge of the licensing workflow. He added that municipal police officers ended up explaining the system instead.

Kadaifçi also accused the defense of attempting to silence the families during their press statement. He vowed to continue the legal battle against the municipality, ministries, and the Social Security Institution (SGK).
