5 held 11 years after attack on Fenerbahçe team bus
Five suspects were detained on Aug. 11 in connection with the armed attack on the Fenerbahçe football team’s bus in April 2015 in the northern province of Trabzon, as part of a renewed investigation into the case 11 years after the incident.
The suspects were identified through an analysis of HTS records and cell tower data, Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said in a statement posted on social media.
Searches were also conducted and evidence was seized at the suspects’ addresses, he said.
Gürlek stressed that the sole purpose of the investigation was to establish, on the basis of concrete evidence, the person or persons behind the attack carried out 11 years ago.
