The case of 'FETO interference in the investigations into the death of Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu' continued

Some of the detained defendants and Davut Uçum and Nusret Memiş, who were tried and convicted in another case on the grounds that they were part of the team that attempted to assassinate the President during the coup attempt of FETO, were connected to the hearing at the Kahramanmaraş 2nd High Criminal Court via the Audio and Video Information System (SEGBİS) from the prison where they were held.

At the hearing, the late Yazıcıoğlu's son Fatih Furkan Yazıcıoğlu, his older brother Yusuf Yazıcıoğlu and their relatives, National Path Party Chairman Remzi Çayır and the party's lawyers were present.

Defendant Davut Uçum requested his acquittal, arguing that he did not accept the accusations against him and that there was not a single piece of evidence against him.

Kemal Yavuz, the lawyer of the Yazıcıoğlu family, also requested that the current case be combined with the "main investigation" file transferred to the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

The president of the court committee postponed the hearing to March 31, 2026.

In his statement after the hearing, Remzi Çayır, Chairman of the National Path Party, reminded that the main investigation file was sent to Ankara and said, "We are after the facts, not periodic explanations and periodic extras. The fact that the main file is currently under investigation, the process goes in the right direction, and the murderers are found in this sense, will increase the trust in Turkish justice and will indicate a great development in terms of the absolute establishment of justice." he said.
