A Diyarbakır prosecutor has completed his indictment against R.Ç., who admitted in late November that he was a hacker working for the outlawed PKK. The prosecutor is requesting a sentence of up to 10 years on charges of "consciously and willingly aiding a terrorist organization."
A police search of a computer belonging to R.Ç., who had been detained in Diyarbakır on suspicion of theft, revealed files containing classified information belonging to institutions including the General Staff and the National Intelligence Organization (MİT).
A search of the computer showed that the suspect had not only sent MİT documents to the PKK, but also had an "online friendship" with Murat Karayılan, the commander of PKK terrorists in northern Iraq. R.Ç. was arrested on Nov. 14 on charges of "acquiring state secrets and confidential documents on behalf of the PKK terrorist organization."
As part of the expanded police investigation, a search of the suspect's home was conducted, yielding many compact discs of domestic and foreign films. The police examined the contents of the discs carefully and found that some of the CDs marked as films also stored classified information from the General Staff, MİT and other institutions.
R.Ç. said during police interrogation that the contact between him and the PKK's Karayılan was established through a terrorist friend of his who resides in France. He also stated that he acquired confidential information belonging to the General Staff, MİT and other institutions through computer virus programs he placed on pornographic Web sites visited by army members.
The suspect will stand trial at a high criminal court in southeastern Diyarbakır province in the weeks ahead.
