Ergün Poyraz immediately had to go under protection of the gendarmerie due to the threats he received. After an order from the Istanbul Beşiktaş Chief Prosecutor's Office, the police went to his house in Ümitköy, which was under gendarmerie protection, and arrested him on July 27, 2007. İsmail Yıldız, who frequently published articles opposing Erdoğan, was also arrested in the same week, in which Erdoğan had filed 60 separate lawsuits against Yıldız. The reason given for the arrest of Poyraz was his alleged involvement in Ergenekon, although his lawyer claimed that the arrests of Poyraz and Yıldız were part of the same operation targeting other Erdoğan critics.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-27 |title=Fenerbahçe'de İsmail Kartal dönemi bitti!
