The prosecutor completed the indictment into the plot against admirals and forwarded it to the İstanbul 12th High Criminal Court today. He demanded that the indictment be merged with the Poyrazköy case.
The Poyrazköy case concerns a cache of munitions discovered in Poyrazköy on land owned by the İstek Foundation. It demands life sentences for five naval officers and lengthy prison terms for 11 other naval officers.
In July seven naval lieutenants were arrested on charges of plotting to assassinate two admirals, Metin Ataç and Eşref Uğur Yiğit. Ten naval officers have been arrested so far as part of this assassination plot. The indictment regarding the plot to assassinate admirals includes 19 suspects, nine of whom are already under arrest. The suspects are accused of “membership in a terrorist organization” and “possessing explosives.”
