New details continue to emerge regarding the investigation launched after the attack on Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel.
Following the attack in question, the General Directorate of Security (EGM) has taken action to investigate whether protection measures were sufficient during the incident.
According to a report by T24, following the physical attack on Özgür Özel by an individual named Selçuk Tengioğlu, the EGM has assigned two inspectors, taking into account the public outcry regarding the course of events. The inspectors will examine footage covering both the moment of the incident and the attacker's movements before and after the event. Furthermore, the intervention process of the security detail on duty during the attack, the measures taken, and whether there was any negligence in the security chain will be evaluated in detail.
Within the scope of the investigation, witness statements will be taken, and procedures regarding protection measures will be reviewed. If any negligence or fault is identified as a result of the evaluations, the inspectors will submit their prepared report to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, and legal proceedings may be initiated against those responsible.
