WHAT HAPPENED?

On March 1, one of three ATV vehicles traveling in Istanbul's Eyüpsultan district broke down. While an attempt was being made to repair the broken-down vehicle pulled to the side of the road, one of two vehicles traveling in the same direction struck the three ATVs at the scene.

Five people injured in the accident were taken to the hospital, and one of the injured, Oğuz Murat Aci, could not be saved despite medical intervention.

Investigations revealed that the 17-year-old driver, T.C., who caused the accident, fled the scene in the vehicle of his mother, Eylem Tok, who had arrived at the location. They went to Istanbul Airport around 02:00 and flew to Egypt with his mother around 04:30.

As part of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, an arrest warrant was issued for T.C. and Eylem Tok, who had fled to Egypt, and a request was subsequently submitted to the Ministry of Justice for the issuance of a Red Notice.

Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç also announced that contact had been made with Egyptian judicial authorities and that the temporary arrest request documents for the extradition of the suspects, who were determined to have gone to the US, had been forwarded to the competent US authorities.

Ayşe Ceren S., a corporate communications specialist working at the workplace of the suspect's father, Bülent Cihantimur, was arrested on charges of "aiding and abetting a criminal" and "concealing evidence," while judicial control measures were applied to Cihantimur and A.K., who had handed over the lost phone of one of the injured victims to the police after the accident.

Father Bülent Cihantimur also gave a statement as a "suspect" on the charge of "aiding and abetting a criminal." The court also decided to impose a judicial control measure on Bülent Cihantimur, including a "signature requirement."

The prosecutor's office, which issued arrest warrants for the driver T.C. and his mother, author Eylem Tok, who were determined to have gone to Egypt on the night of the incident, had sent a letter to the Ministry of Justice requesting the issuance of a Red Notice for the suspects.
