The father, who followed the judicial process regarding his son's death, stated that they wanted the verdict to be reconsidered.
CEMIL KUNDAKÇI "THE CHIEF ARCHITECT OF THIS AFFAIR IS ALEYNA" Father Kundakçı made a striking accusation against Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu in his statement. The grieving father, arguing that Kalaycıoğlu had a role in the incident, used the words "The chief architect of this affair is Aleyna."
KUBILAY KAAN KUNDAKÇI Kundakçı's words also revealed the grounds for his objection to the acquittal verdict. However, the father's claims do not constitute a finding of guilt issued by the court.

WHAT HAPPENED? The 21-year-old footballer Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı lost his life as a result of an armed attack he was subjected to in Ümraniye, Istanbul, on March 19, 2026. In the case filed regarding the incident, 10 defendants, including Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu and Alaattin Kadayıfçıoğlu, had been tried.
The Anadolu 27th Heavy Penal Court, at the verdict hearing on October 16, had ruled for the acquittal of Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu on charges of "incitement to intentional killing" and "failure to report a crime." The court had sentenced Alaattin Kadayıfçıoğlu to life imprisonment for "intentional killing."
