A new phase has been reached in the investigation into the 2011 death of former National Intelligence Organization (MİT) official Kaşif Kozinoğlu at Silivri Prison.
As part of the investigation conducted by the Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, an exhumation process has begun at the Ümraniye Cemetery, where Kozinoğlu was laid to rest. Crime scene investigation teams were dispatched to the cemetery, and it was reported that the work is being carried out to determine the definitive cause of Kozinoğlu's death.
The investigation also aims to uncover whether there was any third-party intervention in his death.
BONE AND SOIL SAMPLES WILL BE COLLECTED
It was stated that the delegation tasked with the examination at the cemetery consists of 3 forensic medicine experts, 1 chemist, and 1 autopsy technician. The delegation is expected to collect bone samples from Kozinoğlu's remains and samples from the grave soil.
The collected samples will be used in examinations to clarify the cause of death and to evaluate the possibility of third-party intervention, which is being investigated in the case file.
The exhumation process was previously scheduled for Friday, September 11, but the procedure had been postponed. The work that began at the cemetery today is considered one of the critical stages of the investigation.
In the previous phase of the investigation into Kozinoğlu's death, 10 suspects were detained. Of these individuals, 1 was arrested, while judicial control measures were applied to 7 suspects.
It was noted that the investigation conducted by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is continuing with the aim of re-examining all aspects of Kozinoğlu's death in prison.
