Selcuk Tengioğlu Arrested for Attacking Özgür Özel – Breaking News from Türkiye
Prosecutor’s Office Releases Referral Letter on Arrest of Selcuk Tengioğlu
Recent developments have emerged regarding the arrest of Selcuk Tengioğlu, as details from the prosecutor’s office have been made public. The referral letter outlines significant aspects of the ongoing investigation into Tengioğlu’s alleged actions.
According to the document, surveillance footage captured Tengioğlu leaving his apartment on the morning of the incident around 8:30 AM. He was seen heading to a hotel in the Taksim area for breakfast. After his meal, he walked to Taksim Square, where he spent approximately two and a half to three hours waiting in front of the Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM).
During this time, it is noted that Tengioğlu was present while the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), Özgür Özel, participated in a ceremony. The letter states that Tengioğlu remained in the vicinity until the ceremony concluded. Shortly after the event, he allegedly approached Özel as he was leaving the area and is accused of attacking him, resulting in injuries.
The referral letter also highlights that video footage from the hotel and surrounding areas has been thoroughly examined, tracking Tengioğlu’s movements. The investigation is still ongoing, with authorities making it clear that they have not yet established any connections between him and organized crime or terrorist groups at this stage.
Furthermore, the letter mentions that the inquiry continues into individuals who may have accompanied Tengioğlu during the incident. Despite efforts to analyze communication records and financial data, no evidence of other participants has been found to date.
The letter emphasizes that Özgür Özel holds a dual role as both the CHP leader and a sitting deputy, which might have influenced Tengioğlu’s actions. The prosecutor’s office has expressed concerns regarding the possibility of escape, citing significant evidence that warrants Tengioğlu’s continued detention.
These unfolding events signal a complex and evolving legal matter, with the prosecutor’s office committed to uncovering the details surrounding the incident and ensuring justice is served. As the investigation proceeds, further updates are anticipated.
