HIS CONDITION IS CRITICAL After the initial intervention at the scene, Öktem was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and it was learned that his condition is critical.
HE HAD BEEN DETAINED IN THE SINAN ATEŞ CASE Lawyer Serdar Öktem was briefly detained and later released in the investigation regarding the death of former Ülkü Ocakları General President Sinan Ateş, who was shot dead in Ankara, and he had started to be tried without detention.
AYŞE ATEŞ'S STATEMENT: I HAD INFORMED THE COURT PANEL THAT SECURITY NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED Meanwhile, following the development, a striking statement came from Ayşe Ateş, the wife of Sinan Ateş. In a statement made on her social media account, she said that she had informed the court panel that the security of the defendants in the case, Doğukan Çep, Tolgahan Demirbaş, Emre Yüksel, and Serdar Öktem, needed to be ensured.
Ayşe Ateş included the following statements in her explanation: "In the last hearing I attended, I had conveyed to the court panel that the security of Doğukan Çep, Tolgahan Demirbaş, Emre Yüksel, and Serdar Öktem, who were involved in the assassination of Sinan Ateş and had strong suspicion or material evidence against them during the investigation and prosecution process, needed to be ensured. Because the process was no longer progressing in front of the public eye, and there were hot developments behind the scenes. Especially, it was important that the device information from Apple regarding Serdar Öktem was received, and the allegations in the ongoing other investigation file regarding the assassination of Sinan Ateş were very serious. I want justice to be served, not time to prove me right. Regardless of how despicable they are, even if they have not received their share of humanity, ensuring the safety of the blood-stained murderers is crucial in illuminating this political murder. Because they will all speak and name the real perpetrators who assigned this political murder to them."
