On 2 July 2012, a Turkish "Special Authority Court" sentenced Yıldırım to three years and nine months for match-fixing and two years and six months for forming an illegal organisation.
The sentence was later approved by the Turkish Supreme Court of Appeals.
He was detained for one year in Metris Prison together with several other sportspeople involved in the scandal. However, on 6 March 2014 special authority courts were abolished in Turkey.
On 23 July 2014, his earlier retrial demand was accepted meaning that him and all the people involved will have a retrial about this case.
