Baran was arrested in Antalya. He was living in his luxury apartment there, thinking he was untouchable. But the Dutch government had talks with the Turkish government. And now the Turkish government found some crimes he commited in Turkey that they could arrest him for. Glad this happened

the guy has a very good name, very describing for his behaviour (stupid and stubborn to try the same thing again)...B-A-R-A-N...Baran...baran...in russian baran is ram or wether  (a male sheep?), so it´s a good name for him 

Seems that in turkish his name means ..rain

"Baran" is not Turkish, it´s Persian/Kurdish word. It probably should not be considered even as a loan word since it is not used commonly, but as a name only(Not very common as a name amongst Turks either). Use "yağmur" for rain, this too is used as a name.

İ never  intended to use this word..i just found what it means few minutes ago in this site´s dictionary.

I though it was a Kurdish name like rojda, berfin, şeyhmus, şivan etc. Personally I have not met any Turk using this name yet.

As a Dutch woman I know about this topic of Saban B, it is unbelievable how the Dutch justice system is working. As he got ´free time´´ form the judges to see his newborn child... he escaped during his free time to Turkey. The worst thing about this ´Turkish news topics´ is that it causes negative public relations for the general Image of Turkey in Netherlands, as Turkish men have a notorious reputation in Netherlands as big womanizer and unfaithfull ones. Unfortunately this Saban creature is emphasing the image even more. If you look at his face you can see clearly that this guy has no scruples and no faith, he is a monster, I don´t understand the Dutch woman he got married with she must be mentally sick! Let´s hope he will be in Turkish prison for the rest of his life!

Yaeh but I guess you never know.. Back several years ago when there were a lot of "aşiret" serials on tv I remember there were characters with this name, that´s when I first heard it. Some people might have been influenced and named their child "Baran". My concern is, why "Baran" when there is "Yağmur"? This is very sneaky and dangerous cultural reconstruction we are being put through :S

Yeah but they were not interesting to watch for me. That doesn´t mean that I know some of those charcaters though.

Also in the movie titled "Eşkiya" there was a "Baran ağa" acted by Şener Şen.

...Okay, let´s talk more about rain... Or, we could get some info perhaps of our Turkish friends here who might get a bit more insight into what he´s charged with? I heard he was charged by Turkey for trying to "white-wash" money in Turkey, which he got with his women-abusing illegal practices in Holland. He´s also charged with threatening people in Turkey. Is this news in Turkey, in the papers or anything?

He is a common petty criminal (adi suçlu?), a pimp who supposedly beats and exploits women and that wouldn´t get him in the papers. Maybe a small report in the 3rd page or somehing. I think Dutch media emphasizes this because they let him out and because he poses a threat to tourists.
