Two Men Deny Burgling Spurs Stadium on Night of Beyonce Concert
Prosecutors say the pair cut wires to reach a VIP terrace and caused about £1,700 of damage, while both men deny burglary.
On Thursday, Murat Kodalakoglu and Alirza Dag, both 23, denied burgling Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during a Beyoncé 'Cowboy Carter' concert last year, appearing at Wood Green Crown Court to enter their pleas.
Prosecutors claimed the pair broke into Lilywhite House at the stadium "with intent to steal," allegedly causing around £1,700 in damage to an electronic keypad system by cutting wires.
Defense lawyers Tetevi Davie and Anisa Kebbati said their clients had no intent to steal; Kodalakoglu "denies any intent or involvement in criminal damage," while Dag admitted to damaging the door access control panel.
Judge Daniel Fugallo set the trial for February 18, 2030, at Wood Green Crown Court, ordering both men to notify their solicitors within seven days if their contact information or address changes.
Previously outlined at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, the case involves an incident during the final night of six sellout shows, with legal proceedings continuing until the February 2030 trial.
