Turkish criminal investigations

Overview

Recent legal developments in Turkey involve separate investigations into deaths and disappearances.

In Istanbul, authorities have issued a non-prosecution decision regarding the death of music producer Erol Köse, who fell from a residential building in the Maslak neighborhood. Forensic reports attributed the death to general body trauma, and an examination of his mobile phones yielded no evidence of third-party involvement or suspicious circumstances.

In the Aydın province, the Söke Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has reopened an investigation into the 2003 disappearance of Elife Doğrul. Following testimony presented on a television program, suspects Metin Musacalı and Türkeş Musacalı have been placed under judicial control and banned from traveling abroad. Witnesses have provided accounts alleging the discovery of human remains in a field and claims that the victim was shot and her body destroyed in a coal stove.
