Two brothers who acquired shares from their partners in Poland through legal means faced a threat stating, "We have referred you to criminal gangs." After returning to Istanbul, the brothers' two shops were attacked consecutively within two months. Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the attacks.
Two brothers, Şehmus T. and Gökhan T., who own a textile company in Poland, partnered with Mustafa A. However, the parties experienced disagreements while conducting business and parted ways. Unable to collect their debts, the two brothers acquired Mustafa A.'s shares through legal means. After losing his shares, Mustafa A. asked for money from his former partners, Şehmus T. and Gökhan T. When he couldn't get the money he requested, he called the other party to Poland for a meeting.
"WE REFERRED YOU TO THE CRIME CHARTS"
The parties met in Poland, but Mustafa A. received nothing from the other side. Following this, Mustafa A. threatened the two brothers, saying, "We referred you to the crime charts, you will pay 2 million dollars." After the events, Şehmus T. and Gökhan T. returned to Turkey, and their textile shop in Bayrampaşa was shot at first. The suspect, who was found to have arrived at the scene in a rented vehicle, was captured and arrested after his location was determined through GPS signals.
SHOTS FIRED AT THE PHARMACY
About two months after this incident, during the night, an armed assailant opened fire at the pharmacy owned by the two brothers in Asmalımescit. No one was killed or injured in the incident, but the moment of the armed attack was captured second by second on security cameras. After the incident, the Beyoğlu Public Security Bureau teams initiated an investigation, examining security cameras and determining that there were two suspects who fled the scene on a motorcycle.
THEY WERE CAUGHT
The police, who saw the suspects throwing the gun into a trash can while fleeing, also seized the weapon. Continuing the pursuit, the police determined that the suspects abandoned the motorcycle after 6 kilometers, changed their clothes, and discarded their helmets. After it was established that the motorcycle was stolen from Eyüpsultan, the police waited at the scene for a while. The 20-year-old Oğuzhan Ç., who was riding the motorcycle at the time of the incident, was caught along with 17-year-old Y.Ö. It was reported that the police reviewed 49 camera recordings and apprehended the suspects within 12 hours. In the pre-incident camera work conducted by the police, it was also determined that the suspects arrived at the scene by taxi, got out near the address, and took the motorcycle that had been left for them beforehand to carry out the armed attack.
RECEIVED 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS
It was determined that the taxi picked up the suspects from an address in Avcılar Tahtakale Neighborhood to bring them to the scene. This time, the Beyoğlu Public Security Bureau teams, who raided the apartment, captured 18-year-old Mert Mahmut Ö., who fired at the pharmacy. After the interview with the suspect, the police examined the site's security cameras and found that the suspect was hired by Mehmet K. for 10 thousand dollars to carry out the attack.
4 SUSPECTS ARRESTED
During the searches conducted at the house, 1,110 grams of marijuana, 45 grams of cocaine, 3 precision scales, 4 drug pills, and many locked transparent bags were seized. Alican A. (33) and Hamza M. (30), who were caught in the house, were taken into custody. A total of 5 suspects were taken to the police station regarding the incident. Of the 5 suspects referred to the courthouse after their statements were taken at the police station, 4 were arrested for the crimes of 'damaging property', 'deliberately endangering public safety', and 'violating the firearms law'. Y.Ö. was released under judicial control. It was revealed that the suspects had 18 criminal records with the police.
