Kaşif Kozinoğlu death investigation in Turkey

Overview

The investigation into the 2011 death of former MİT official Kaşif Kozinoğlu at Silivri Prison has expanded to include production elements of the television series ‘Kurtlar Vadisi.’ Following allegations that the show contained information related to the death, İhsan Karademir, the director of Pana Film, was taken into custody as a suspect. After providing a statement at the Silivri Courthouse, Karademir was released under judicial control with a ban on traveling abroad. During his statement, Karademir suggested that if there was any FETÖ interference in the show's script, Pana Film partners Mehmet Canpolat, CEO Kürşat Ufuk, and General Coordinator Mehmet Baş would be aware of it.

Parallel to the criminal probe, journalist Sinan Burhan has raised allegations regarding the departure of the series' original producer and director, Osman Sınav, claiming Sınav was threatened by Enver Altaylı—a former MİT official and FETÖ convict—to leave the project and change its format. New witness statements have reinforced these claims, suggesting Altaylı threatened Sınav in 2004 to either alter the series format or exit the production. The probe is currently examining whether specific episodes contained propaganda or organizational instructions favoring FETÖ. As part of this scrutiny, Bayram Özbek has been arrested for allegedly interfering with the show’s script.

Additionally, journalist Selahattin Günday has been detained in connection with the investigation. His legal counsel, Hüseyin Ersöz, has filed for Günday’s release, arguing that the allegations pertain to journalistic activities and that the statute of limitations for the alleged acts has expired.
