In 2023, Ahmet Mattia Minguzzi, who was stabbed to death at the age of 15 in Kadıköy, experienced a change of lawyer in his ongoing case. Following the arrest of the family's lawyer, Rezan Epözdemir, on August 14 for the charge of "facilitating bribery," the case will now be followed by Lawyer Ersan Barkın.
HE HAD SENT A "WE ARE WITH YOU" MESSAGE
Ersan Barkın, known as Sedat Peker's lawyer, has a relationship with the Minguzzi family that dates back to the early days of the case. Allegedly, Peker reached out to the family through Barkın during the days when Ahmet Minguzzi lost his life, stating that he was with them throughout the process.
SHARED A PHOTO
Ersan Barkın shared a photo he took with Minguzzi's mother, Yasemin Minguzzi, on his social media account, captioning it, "With gratitude to the Minguzzi family, who are fighting for our future in the person of our beautiful child Mattia Ahmet..."
“HE WILL REPRESENT OUR FAMILY”
Mother Yasemin Minguzzi also shared a photo with Barkın on her Instagram account, expressing her gratitude. In her statement, she said, "Lawyer Ersan Barkın will represent our family in the ongoing case of our son Mattia Ahmet at the Istanbul Children's Heavy Criminal Court. We thank Mr. Ersan Barkın once again for being with us from day one."
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
Ahmet Mattia Minguzzi was stabbed to death in 2023 during a dispute at a market in Kadıköy. Following the murder, a case was opened against two defendants for "intentional murder of a child," seeking up to 24 years in prison. The fourth hearing of the case was held on July 17, 2025, at the Anadolu Justice Palace, but a crisis occurred when the 7 witnesses scheduled to be heard did not appear in court. The court panel postponed the hearing to address the deficiencies. The Minguzzi family has shared their quest for justice with the public at every opportunity, while the slow progress of the case and the absence of witnesses at the hearings have caused reactions.
