In the investigation launched by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Terror Crimes Investigation Bureau, it was determined that fingerprints taken from the scene belonged to the suspect Murat Can T. In the examination conducted on HTS data, it was determined that the suspect was at the scene, was active within the YDG-H, the illegal youth organization of the PKK/KCK terrorist organization, and supported the coup attempt and assassination attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that members of the FETÖ/PDY terrorist organization attempted to carry out on July 15, 2016.

ACQUITTAL DECISION DESPITE EVIDENCE

The suspect Murat Can T., who was tried at the Izmir 13th High Criminal Court, was acquitted. The court's justification stated that "as a result of the trial, since sufficient, clear and convincing evidence that would be beyond all doubt to convict the defendant of the crime he was accused of committing could not be obtained, his acquittal was decided due to insufficient evidence."
