WHAT HAPPENED?
On April 23, 2025, in Ankara, the driver G.G. of the party bus carrying CHP deputies did not comply with the police's "stop" warning and drove the vehicle towards a female police officer. The police officer narrowly escaped, avoiding a possible accident. The incident occurred in an area around the Ankara Courthouse where a demonstration ban was in effect.
The General Directorate of Security filed a criminal complaint against the driver for "intentional murder," "intentional injury," and "endangering traffic safety." Within the scope of the investigation initiated by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, G.G. was released under judicial control; a travel ban and house arrest were imposed on him.
In his statement, driver G.G. indicated that the bus's weight resulted in a long braking distance and that he could not stop. He also mentioned that they told the deputies and party deputy chairpersons to continue on the road because they were late for the program.
