Turkish prosecutors seek life imprisonment for defendants in Russian ambassador’s murder case
|
[PRESSTV] Ottoman Turkish prosecutors are seeking life imprisonment for defendants involved in the murder of Russian ambassador to Ankara, Andrey Karlov, who was assassinated by a member of a movement led by US-based opposition holy man Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world. Gülen and Erdogan used to be really good friends, but only one of them could be sultan, and Gülen lost...
On Thursday, the Ankara prosecutor's office demanded multiple aggravated life sentences for a total of eight defendants.
The indictment also pointed out that the killing of Karlov was "provocative action against Ottoman Turkish-Russian ties."
Back in November 25, 2018, Ottoman Turkish prosecutors concluded a two-year investigation, and indicted 28 suspects, including Gulen himself, and other high-ranking members of his movement over the Russian ambassador’s killing.
According to the indictment, former Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) employee Sahin Sogut was a "covert imam" ‐ a Gulen movement clandestine preacher ‐ of the assassin Mevlut Mert Altintas.
| ...the off-duty Turkish police officer about whom nothing else seems to be known except that the Turks found labelling him a Gulenist to be awfully convenient. He was conveniently shot dead at the scene of the art gallery assassination, and so could not give awkward answers ... |
The indictment noted that Altintas and Sogut communicated via their social media and e-mail accounts.
The pair was in close contact ten days before the liquidation, and Altintas got detailed instructions regarding the murder.
Altintas, clad in civilian clothing, shot down Karlov as he was inaugurating a photo exhibition in the Ottoman Turkish capital city of Ankara on December 19, 2016.
