ByLock Court Decisions and Evidence Analysis
Next Generation Criminal and Digital Forensics Solutions
ByLock Decisions and Evidence Analysis, Today, digital evidence is among the most critical elements in criminal proceedings. The ByLock application, which frequently comes up especially in FETÖ/PDY investigations, has become central to digital forensic analyses. However, high court decisions and acquittal decisions by local courts have clearly demonstrated that ByLock data alone is not sufficient for criminal charges.
ByLock Detections – not Every Evidence is Real Evidence
Thousands of people have been processed with allegations of using ByLock. However, courts seek concrete, technical, and legally valid evidence regarding whether the application was actually used, whether the usage was conscious, and whether the person had organizational intent.
One of the most common situations is detecting connection to ByLock servers, but being unable to determine the User ID. In such cases, many individuals have received acquittal decisions based on the principle of “the benefit of doubt goes to the defendant”.
Additionally, there are judicial decisions indicating that individuals should be evaluated within the scope of “inevitable mistake” due to reasons such as staying in organization-owned houses in the past, being affected by Wi-Fi connections, or being unable to comprehend the organization’s true purpose due to age.

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – about ByLock
What You Want to Know about ByLock, HTS, and Digital Forensic Analyses
❓ is ByLock Legal?
In Turkey, ByLock usage has been associated with terrorist organization membership and aiding the organization charges, especially after the July 15, 2016 coup attempt. ByLock users have been prosecuted under the Anti-Terror Law. However, merely having downloaded the application is not considered a crime by itself.
❓ What is ByLock, What Does it Do?
ByLock is a mobile messaging application that enables users to communicate through encrypted and private connections.
It was published on Google Play and App Store in March 2014.
It remained active until March 2016 and was downloaded more than 600,000 times during this period.
The application was extensively investigated in Turkey for allegedly being used as a secret communication tool by FETÖ members.
❓ is ByLock a Crime?
No, downloading the ByLock application alone is not a crime.
However, according to Supreme Court and Constitutional Court decisions, if the application is used for organizational purposes, this can be considered as criminal evidence.
❓ is ByLock Definitive Evidence?
Yes, but with this condition:
If there is concrete data showing ByLock was used with organizational motives (such as content, communication traffic, who was contacted), this can be accepted as evidence within the scope of the material element of the crime.
The mere presence of the application on the device is not sufficient.
❓ how Long Does a File Wait at the Supreme Court 3rd Criminal Chamber?
The average review time for a file in the Supreme Court Criminal Chamber is calculated as 352 days.
At the Supreme Court Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, this period is approximately 473 days.
The file’s scope, workload, and procedural processes can affect this duration.
❓1. Is ByLock connection detection considered definitive evidence against me?
No. Just detecting a connection to the ByLock server is not enough to prove that someone consciously used this application. Technical details such as User ID, connection time, and data traffic are determinative for evidence quality. There are many acquittal decisions given without User ID detection.
❓2. There’s a ByLock detection on my GSM line but no application was found on my phone. What should be done?
Such cases may contain incomplete or erroneous analysis. The IMEI matching between the line and device, connection logs, and IP records should be technically examined to scientifically determine whether the connection belongs to you. This analysis can strengthen your defense in court.
❓3. Can evidence be created against me without ByLock User ID detection?
No. The Supreme Court and many local courts have ruled that ByLock data without User ID detection cannot be considered evidence against the defendant alone. In such cases, the principle of “benefit of doubt goes to the defendant” applies.
❓4. Can organizational relationships be established through HTS (phone traffic) records?
HTS records only show that people were technically present at the same base stations. This data alone cannot prove organizational connection. Scientific analysis of HTS data should be evaluated in terms of time, location, and content.
❓5. Are your digital forensics reports valid in official proceedings?
Yes. Technical analysis reports prepared by DNA Criminal and Digital Forensics Consultancy can be submitted as expert opinion in cases without appointed experts and can be considered by courts. If necessary, we also support the process with officially appointed expert reports.
❓6. Can I use expert reports in my appeal or supreme court applications?
Yes. Our technical reports can be used to strengthen your defense in appeal and Supreme Court stages. These reports are vital especially for files with incomplete evaluation.
❓7. How long does it take to prepare your reports?
While it varies depending on the nature of the case, preliminary analysis reports are completed within 3-7 business days, and comprehensive technical reports within 7-14 business days. We also offer expedited service options for urgent files.
❓8. How does the service procurement process work?
Initial consultation (free preliminary assessment)
Submission of the file to us for technical analysis
Preliminary analysis and scope determination
Preparation of scientific report
Presentation in format to be shared with your lawyer/court
❓9. Who is your consultancy service for?
Individuals accused of ByLock usage
Those facing charges based on HTS or IP data
Lawyers and law offices
Victims who believe they are wrongly accused
File owners in appeal/supreme court process
❓What is ByLock, what does it do?
ByLock is a mobile application that provides encrypted messaging and file sharing over the internet.
❓Is downloading and deleting ByLock a crime?
No, just downloading and deleting the application alone does not constitute a crime. What matters is the purpose of use and organizational connection.
❓Can ByLock be used as evidence in court?
Yes. However, the ECHR and Constitutional Court do not consider sentencing based on technical data alone sufficient.
