Lawyer submits 108-person cover-up list in Doku probe
Ali Çimen, the lawyer for missing university student Gülistan Doku, submitted a 108-person cover-up list to prosecutors in Türkiye’s eastern province of Tunceli. He demanded further operations after only 19 suspects faced legal action.
Çimen said the police queried the 21-year-old student on the national database 41 days before she vanished on Jan. 5, 2020. Former police officer Gökhan Ertok conducted these searches from a local police facility, he said.
“The case is just beginning. We submitted a cover-up list of 108 people. Only 19 on the list faced legal action. We expect the operations to continue,” he said.
Erzurum prosecutors believe Ertok and other officers acted outside the public hierarchy to serve the illegal aims of former Tunceli Governor Tuncay Sonel, he said.
