Sinan Ates
Former Ülkü Ocakları Chairman and academician Sinan Ates When reading the 145-page indictment regarding his assassination, there will be gaps and points that journalists following this event will draw attention to.
One of those points is that some of the suspects involved in the incident were released from prison on leave with the decision taken by the Ministry of Justice in 2020 within the scope of Covid-19 measures… When we look at the indictment for the murder of Sinan Ateş, some names were released from prison within the scope of Covid-19 leave and assisted in the murder. Mehmet Yücethe shooter who killed Sinan Ateş Eray Özyağcıwho kidnapped from the scene on a motorcycle Vedat BalkayaThe person who sold the motorcycle to .
Mehmet Yüce, who said in his police statement that he had a criminal record, was released from prison on 01.06.2022 on Covid-19 leave.
Hakan Saraçfrom the team that organized the murder of Sinan Ateş Suat KurtThe person who organized the house where he will stay in Ankara. Hakan Saraç was also released from prison in August 2022 within the scope of Covid-19 measures while he was in prison for “Looting, intentional wounding”.
Suat Kurtmastermind of Sinan Ateş murder, wanted by the police but managed to escape for 4 years, gang leader in Gülsuyu Doğukan ÇepHe is a close friend of… He is also a friend of the shooter Eray Özyağcı and Vedat Balkaya, who kidnapped Özyağcı with his motorcycle. The person who arranged the house in Ankara and stayed in that house before the murder… Suat Kurt was also released from prison in 2020 due to pandemic leave.
Osman BayraktarIn the indictment, he is accused of aiding murder. He is the unofficial partner of the parking lot where the vehicle, including the two special operations police officers who brought Eray Özyağcı, the hitman who killed Sinan Ateş, was taken to Ankara.
Osman Bayraktar, like Doğukan Çep, was able to escape for 8 years. He was caught in 2017 and sent to Maltepe Prison. He was released from prison in 2020 due to pandemic leave.
A careless indictment
An indictment that was clearly written carelessly… For example Tolgahan DemirbaşMarco Pasha, who allegedly hid ‘in his farm’, is the owner of the cafe. Aytaç AtaçIn some places his name is written as Aytaç Ateş. For example, who knew Doğukan Çep, who was accused of instigating the murder, from Maltepe Prison when he was convicted of murder. Ufuk Köktürk‘s statement has no context. In Köktürk’s statement “About 6 months ago, I bought it in Fatih for 25000 TL from a Syrian national I did not know.” says. But the indictment does not say what he bought.
Sinan Ateş’s family is also very reactive to the indictment. Sister Selma AtesI talked to . Fire, “Society cannot accept this indictment. The statements of many eyewitnesses are not included in the indictment.” said.
It is also clear that the vehicle that Eray Özyağcı mentioned in the indictment, whose license plate and brand name he did not provide, should be investigated. Because there are allegations that the Audi brand vehicle is related to political connections. Although Özyağcı named Suat Kurt and Vedat Balkaya in connection with the murder, we understand from their statements that two vehicles helped him until he arrived in Istanbul. Who those vehicles belong to is also of critical importance in shedding light on this murder… Statements that many suspects dismiss as “I don’t remember” will be reminded or recalled during the trial phase.
How the evidence will be interpreted will also emerge at the actual trial stage. The indictment, completed 16 months after the murder, makes no mention of the suspects’ political connections. The suspects also deny that connection. Former MHP Mersin Deputy on the day of the incident Olcay GuideTolgahan Demirbaş, who uses the house used by , in Ankara, mentions MHP only in one place. In order to prevent the transfer of the 06 MHP 96 license plate belonging to his friend to someone else, he is the chief at the murder bureau and is detained in the file. M.E.AHe says he’s looking for .
It is an organized murder, but we do not have an indictment that connects the connections…
