The Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced 4 people were detained in Istanbul and Tekirdağ in the investigation into former intelligence agency MİT official Kaşif Kozinoğlu, who died in prison in 2011; charges include "intentional killing", forming a criminal organization, and violating Law No. 2937. Two former prosecutors were previously arrested.
The court arrested the then-chief prosecutor Ali İşgören and prison prosecutor Necip Doğan, while placing Kozinoğlu's cellmates Hasan Ataman Yıldırım and Hasan Atilla Uğur under house arrest. Uğur, speaking outside the courthouse, said the opening of the investigation was 'valuable and important.' The number of detainees in the investigation rose to six.
