The family of businessman Fatih Fil, who was shot in İzmir, stated, "At this point, suspicions have grown that this attack may be an organized and planned act of terrorism beyond an individual feud."



While walking with a friend in the Çeşme district of İzmir, businessman Fatih Fil was shot at from behind by an unidentified person.



INJURED IN THE LEG



Fatih Fil, who was left bleeding on the ground after being hit in the leg, fell to the ground as the suspect fled the scene on foot. Health and police teams were dispatched to the scene following reports from bystanders. The injured businessman Fil was taken to the hospital by the ambulance that arrived at the scene. It was reported that Fil's health condition is good.



6 PEOPLE ARRESTED



Following the attack, an investigation was launched. It was reported that 6 people have been arrested in connection with the investigation.



FAMILY'S SPECIAL STATEMENTS



The Fil family, who spoke to Haberler.com regarding the attack on the businessman known for his charitable contributions and respected by his community, stated, "So far, a total of 6 people have been arrested in our case. Two of them are the shooters who directly carried out the attack, while the other 4 individuals were arrested for aiding and abetting."



The investigation is being conducted on the charge of "attempted murder with a firearm." Criminal analyses revealed that the attack was carried out with a double-handed grip, targeting the back and head area directly, but it was determined that the person who pulled the trigger closed their eyes and lowered the muzzle at the moment of firing, as clearly seen in the camera footage," they said.



SUSPICION OF TERRORISM IN THE ATTACK



The family also included the following statements in their announcement: "There is strong evidence that the incident was planned in an organized manner. Information that Fatih Fil was systematically followed for a period before the act has also been included in the investigation file.



Despite this, no notification regarding the background or possible motives of the attack has reached us so far, and the arrested individuals have not confessed to any organization in their statements.



At this point, suspicions have grown that this attack may be an organized and planned act of terrorism beyond an individual feud.



It is noted in the file that both of the shooters were born in Diyarbakır, Lice."
