He had threatened a public prosecutor: It turns out a member of the 'newborn gang' acted in a TV series

New details continue to emerge every day in the investigation into the 'Newborn Gang,' which has been shaken by infant deaths.

It has been revealed that Atilla Yılmaz, the chief physician of Medilife Beylikdüzü Hospital, who is currently in custody and alleged to be a member of the gang, played a doctor character under his own name in the TV series "Adım Farah," which aired on Now TV last year.

Atilla Yılmaz, who gave a statement as part of the newborn gang investigation, stated that he was born in 1967 and, after graduating from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine, served as a chief physician in various state and private hospitals. He also served as a member of the Beylikdüzü and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) Council and as the Chairman of the IBB Council Health Commission.

In his statement, Yılmaz said that he recognized some of the individuals shown to him who were alleged to be associated with the gang, but that he had no direct involvement in the procedures for infant patients transferred to the hospital where he was the responsible manager.

He also stated that the doctors working at the hospital were authorized for these transfer procedures and that the chief physician's office only intervened in the event of an official complaint.

In wiretaps included in the investigation file, it was determined that Yılmaz had conversations regarding the "Opara baby" and inspections.

Addressing this issue in his statement, Yılmaz argued that the inspections conducted by the Health Directorate were within his knowledge, that the baby named "Opara" was transferred to another hospital, and that neither the hospital nor he himself was negligent during this process.

In the inspection report dated January 26, 2024, prepared by the Provincial Health Directorate, it was stated that the baby named Micehelle Nwando Opara, who was transferred from Medilife Beylikdüzü Hospital to Birinci Hospital on January 17, 2024, lost her life due to negligence at the hospital to which she was transferred.

The report stated that the baby died due to inappropriate medical treatment services.

As the newborn gang scandal continues to shake the country's agenda, new developments are expected to emerge in the investigation.

The prosecutor's office continues its investigations into individuals alleged to be connected to the gang.
