There has been a new development in the investigation regarding former National Intelligence Organization (MİT) officer Kaşif Kozinoğlu, who died in Silivri Prison while he was detained due to the Ergenekon investigation.
The Forensic Medicine Institute 1st Specialization Board report regarding Kozinoğlu's suspicious death was sent to Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
The report stated that there was no medical evidence that Kozinoğlu died due to traumatic effects, that there was no medical evidence that he died from poisoning, and that his death occurred as a result of heart disease.
The conquest of the grave was carried out on September 12.
The burial process was carried out on September 12 to determine the exact cause of Kozinoğlu's death and whether there was any third party intervention in his death.
Kozinoğlu's grave was opened under the supervision of a committee consisting of three forensic experts, a chemist and an autopsy technician; Bone, soil and other medical samples were taken. Experts investigated whether a different drug was given in prison over a period of 1.5 months.
Kaşif Kozinoğlu was a former maroon beret officer and MİT member.
Kozinoğlu, who served for a long time in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Afghanistan, was arrested in 2011 when he returned to Türkiye from Afghanistan. Kozinoğlu died in prison on November 12, 2011, after suffering a heart attack after exercising. It was noted that there were 13 days for Kozinoğlu to appear in court.
Kozinoğlu family said, "He was an athlete, his death is not normal, it should be investigated." He objected, but the investigation was closed a year later.
Allegedly, Kozinoğlu was asking for help when he had a heart attack, but guard Ferhat Veysi Gül turned up the volume on the radio to prevent this sound from being heard. It is later revealed that Gül was a member of FETO and fled abroad after July 15.
The file was reopened after these allegations and old investigations came to the fore.
It is claimed that Kozinoğlu, who has very important information about FETO, may have been poisoned.
In recent months, on the day Kozinoğlu fell ill and was hospitalized, images of his cellmates, retired Naval Captain Hasan Ataman Yıldırım and retired Gendarmerie Colonel Hasan Atilla Uğur, in prison were also revealed.
It is being investigated why the lights were turned off in the common living area for 14 minutes that day and what the white object Yıldırım was holding in his hand when leaving Kozinoğlu's room was being investigated.
The footage also shows Hasan Atilla Uğur entering Kozinoğlu's ward; Claims that the coffee cup he washed belonged to Kaşif Kozinoğlu were also put under the spotlight.
Following these developments, Hasan Ataman Yıldırım and Hasan Atilla Uğur, prosecutor Ali İşgören, who decided not to prosecute the file at that time and was expelled from FETO in the following years, and Necip Doğan, who served as a prison prosecutor at that time and was also expelled from FETO after the coup attempt, were taken into custody.
House arrest was decided for Yıldırım and Uğur this morning, taking into account their age and health conditions.
The court issued an arrest warrant for former prosecutors Ali İşgören and Necip Doğan.
Retired Naval Captain Hasan Ataman Yıldırım, who was detained in the Ergenekon case at that time, sent a petition to the hearing and told the story of the day his cellmate Kozinoğlu died.
Yıldırım, who also gave information about the health condition of another ward mate, Hasan Atilla Uğur, shared the following:
"Explorer Kozinoğlu kept watch in the ward until 06.30 in the morning for Atilla Uğur, who was sick last week. We thought we might lose Atilla from a heart attack. The explorer woke up at 15.45 that day. We walked together in the courtyard from 16.15. I walked for 30 minutes, while Kozinoğlu walked for 60 minutes. Then he went to his room in the ward and exercised for about 45 minutes. This is what I did. In my opinion, I considered sports as heavy sports, but he was walking and doing sports regularly.
When he had pain, Kozinoğlu came to Atilla's room at 18.15 and asked for help. We went to the explorer's room. He had severe pain in his chest. His blood pressure was measured as 12.7/20.5 and the emergency button was pressed at 18.17. He was given a sublingual pill. Around 18.35, he did not want to get on the stretcher brought by the staff and even wanted to go down the 19 steps himself. However, he was taken down the stairs on a stretcher by the officers on duty and left the ward in a conscious and talking state.
As we learned later, the prisoner waited in the reception area, conscious, with a pulse, and speaking. 112 emergency came at approximately 18.50 and he was taken to Silivri State Hospital by ambulance, but there was no doctor in the ambulance. Technicians intervened. "He passed away at 19.15 when he contacted another ambulance while he was on the TEM road and arrived at Silivri State Hospital after joining the other ambulance doctor who came to the TEM exit."
In his petition, Yıldırım also claimed that "Kozinoğlu was taken to the hospital an hour after his first pain."
