Ayşe Ateş, who is the wife of Sinan Ateş, who was assassinated, claimed that he was killed because he was going to speak about lawyer Serdar Öktem, who was killed in traffic in Şişli. She stated, "Everyone who knew him knew that the moment Serdar was convicted, he would take down everyone involved in Sinan's murder."
Ayşe Ateş made a statement regarding the murder of lawyer Serdar Öktem, who is a suspect in the armed attack that resulted in the death of Sinan Ateş in Şişli. In her social media post about the matter, Ateş claimed that Serdar Öktem would speak and that it was known he would burn everyone the moment he was convicted.
Ateş stated in her post, "Serdar was going to speak. The public's attention was directed elsewhere, but the resolution of the knot regarding Sinan's murder was imminent. He was being tried in another court - independent of the Sinan Ateş murder - where evidence was presented that would force him to talk about the Sinan Ateş murder."
"SERDAR KNEW HE WOULD BURN EVERYONE INVOLVED IN SINAN'S MURDER"
In the continuation of her statement, Ateş said, "The person I was in a lawsuit with reached out to me, saying he was defrauded by Serdar Öktem and that he had WhatsApp conversations related to the Sinan Ateş murder and audio recordings of his meetings with Serdar. He even opened the part of the conversations that I will share with you below. Strangely, a few weeks later, a confidentiality order was placed on that file as well. Serdar was the weak link. Everyone who knew Serdar knew that he would burn everyone involved in Sinan's murder the moment he was convicted. So, what was in the conversations conveyed to me? Let me share what I heard with the public:
Serdar is asking for 3 million TL to give to Doğukan Çep, claiming that this way he will silence him until the trial is over. He talks about Doğukan's threat of "I will write a letter to the court" and then says, "You were right about Ahmet." Immediately after, he deletes the part related to Ahmet, but the person on the other side took a screenshot of everything in real-time and submitted it as evidence to the court.
"SINAN SAID 'THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MAN TO HAVE ME KILLED'
I am sure that the honorable and honest journalists of this country will reveal the evidence in the mentioned file as soon as the confidentiality order is lifted and will publish an enlightening news article with a comprehensive text. Thus, the suspicions surrounding Serdar's suspicious death will deepen. Serdar was killed. He can no longer speak. Who knows, perhaps what he and his phone did not say will be revealed by his death. For almost three years, the entire country has witnessed how a murder that was solved from the very first day was turned into a tangled mess by dark hands day by day. However, I believe that even if they build barriers or walls, justice finds a way. The incident mentioned by Mr. Sadık Güleç is from the time when Sinan told me and his parents, "They are looking for a man to have me killed. They have gone to a few places. The groups they went to did not accept. I received news." We had ensured that this was recorded in the court minutes."
