Istanbul police detained five suspects accused of preparing an armed attack against Cem Gölbaşı, the leader of Fenerbahçe supporters. The suspects allegedly arrived in Istanbul from Adana and Gaziantep to carry out the operation.
Operations were carried out in Beyoğlu and Esenyurt. One suspect was arrested in Beyoğlu on October 31, while three others were detained at a cell house in Esenyurt.
“The suspects were preparing an armed attack against Cem Gölbaşı but gave up the action because suitable conditions did not occur.”
Authorities seized unlicensed pistols, automatic rifles, a long-barreled rifle, extended magazines, and 200 rounds of ammunition during raids on the suspects' residences.
Investigators said Yusuf Can Güngör, known by the nickname Baron, ordered the attack within the armed criminal group known as Daltonlar. The suspects reportedly abandoned the plan because suitable conditions did not arise.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau is conducting the investigation. Legal proceedings against the detained suspects continue.
Some reports state four people were detained, while others say five suspects were arrested in connection with the planned attack.
