There are striking developments in the investigation into the assassination of Sinan Ateş, the former President of the Ülkü Ocakları (Idealist Hearths) in Ankara. It is alleged that Olcay Kılavuz, a former MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) Member of Parliament and advisor to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, is among the suspects in the Ateş murder case. It is claimed that action was taken following a complaint by Sinan Ateş's wife, Ayşe Ateş, regarding Kılavuz.
After the indictment prepared regarding the former Chairman of the Idealist Hearths, Sinan Ateş, who was killed in Ankara on December 30, 2022, important developments continue to occur one after another. It is claimed that Olcay Kılavuz, the 27th Term MHP Mersin Deputy, is also among the suspects in the Ateş murder case and that the file is in the parliamentary investigation office.
ALLEGATIONS REGARDING OLCAY KILAVUZ
Journalist İsmail Saymaz, who stated that Olcay Kılavuz, who is also an advisor to the MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, has been processed as a suspect, announced the development on Sözcü TV screens.
FILE IN THE PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGATION OFFICE
Saymaz, stating that an action was taken regarding Kılavuz after the complaint of Ayşe Ateş, the wife of Sinan Ateş who was killed in the assassination, said that the file of Bahçeli's advisor was sent to the parliamentary investigation office on the grounds that he was a member of parliament at the time of the incident.
"WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT"
Saymaz continued his statements as follows; "According to this document we have, Olcay Kılavuz, who was a member of parliament at that time and is now serving as an advisor to MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli, is mentioned as a suspect in the Sinan Ateş file. However, since he was a member of parliament at that time, a direct investigation could not be conducted, and the document allocated for the preparation of an indictment against him was referred to the parliamentary office of the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. We don't know what happened after that.
"AN INDICTMENT SHOULD BE PREPARED AND SENT TO THE PARLIAMENT"
In this case, what the parliamentary office should do regarding Olcay Kılavuz is to prepare an indictment for the crime of "intentional homicide" and send it to the Parliament, and for the removal of his parliamentary immunity, the necessary procedures should be carried out. We understand that the document has been sent to the parliamentary office, but we do not know if this duty has been fulfilled in the 15-month period that has passed.
"HE WOULD HAVE BEEN DETAINED IF HE WAS NOT A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AT THAT TIME"
Olcay Kılavuz, who was processed as a suspect in connection with the Sinan Ateş murder with the allegation of intentional homicide, it is uncertain whether his file has been sent to the Parliament, and we do not know if the Parliament has prepared an indictment regarding this. However, as of today, we learn the following: Approximately 14 months ago, on April 18, 2023, Olcay Kılavuz was processed as a suspect in connection with the Sinan Ateş murder case. If he was not a member of parliament at that time, he would have been directly detained and his statement would have been taken."
