The indictment prepared against 5 defendants, 2 of whom are detained, regarding the armed attack on the Fenerbahçe team bus in the Sürmene district of Trabzon in April 2015 has been accepted.
IT WAS STATED THAT THE ATTACK WAS PLANNED IN ADVANCE
In the 26-page indictment accepted by the Trabzon 1st High Criminal Court, within the scope of the investigation into the armed attack on April 4, 2015, at the Sürmene Viaduct location on the bus carrying the Fenerbahçe Sports Club football team on its return from the Rize away match, it was recalled that the defendants Yusuf Ö, Hakan H, Emiral A, Özgür E., and Özden R.K. made 72 phone calls on the day of the incident, and it was noted that the attack on the bus carrying Fenerbahçe footballers and technical staff could not have been carried out randomly and that the act was planned in advance.
REQUEST FOR AGGRAVATED PENALTY FOR THE DEFENDANTS
In the indictment, it was stated that within the scope of a single act carried out by the defendants with the will to commit a crime together, 39 complainants other than the bus owner separately committed the crime of 'attempted deliberate killing by planning,' while the driver İsmail Kopuz committed the crime of 'damaging property,' and within the scope of the provisions on ideal concurrence of different types of offenses regulated in Article 44 of the Turkish Penal Code, it was requested that the suspects, who caused multiple different offenses to be constituted by a single act, be punished for the crime of 'attempted deliberate killing by planning,' which requires the heaviest penalty.
