Details of an execution on the Golden Horn Bridge were included in the indictment against the Dalton gang associated with Barış Boyun. The document also lists Fenerbahçe stand leader Gümüştekin and a retired police officer. The Terrorism and Organized Crime Investigation Bureau of the Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office has concluded the investigation into the attack on Halil Ay, the leader of the criminal organization „Anucur.“
According to the news from Furkan Karabay of 10 News; In the indictment for the attack on the Golden Horn Bridge on January 14, 2023, in which Cumali Aslan of the Anucur gang was killed, 30 suspects were included. The indictment states that the attack was carried out by a criminal organization based in Beyoğlu under the leadership of Barış Boyun, who fled to Italy. It was stated that the attackers of the attack were members of the „Daltons“ group, who actively used social media to recruit members for the criminal organization „Necks.“
Behind the attack organized to kill Halil Ay was the drug smuggling rivalry between the Anucur and Gündoğmuş gangs. There were conflicts between the two gangs over collecting drug money.
„In December 2022, the Anucur and Gündoğmuş gangs fired their weapons in the street in the Kağıthane district of Istanbul, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Quran course teacher Ramazan Aslan. Following the incident, 25 suspects were arrested, an AK-47 type assault rifle, ten pistols, and a kilo of heroin were seized. However, the gang members who caused Aslan’s death were not arrested and were placed under house arrest.“
„A month after the death of 25-year-old Ramazan Aslan, clashes occurred on the Golden Horn Bridge between members of the same gang. Cumali Aslan, who was released from prison 20 days ago, was killed in the conflict. The person who carried out the attack was Doğukan K., a member of the Dalton gang associated with Barış Boyun, who should have been in prison.“
„The conflicts between the two gangs continued even after the death of Cumali Aslan. On August 24, 2023, police officer Hakan Telli died as a result of gunfire opened by drug dealers in Kağıthane, Istanbul. The policeman AYÇ was hit by four bullets in his body and was seriously injured.“
„More than a year after the attack that killed Cumali Aslan, the indictment pointed to the feud between Uğurcan Gündoğmuş and Halil Ay, which began over drug collections. The indictment stated that Uğurcan Gündoğmuş, who met with the leaders of the ‚Daltons‘ gang, Bahadır Akdağ and Beratcan Gökdemir, agreed to the murder of Halil Ay. It was indicated that the social media phenomenon Gizem Karamelek, allegedly the girlfriend of Beratcan Gökdemir, met with Halil Ay and attached a tracking device to Ay’s vehicle.“
„The Dalton gang followed Ay and attacked the vehicle on the Golden Horn Bridge, in which Ay and three other individuals were traveling. After the attack, it was found that Beratcan Gökdemir had fled to Georgia and Bahadır Akdağ was hiding in a villa rented by the brother of retired police officer Olcay Şentürk.“
„The indictment stated that the retired police officer Şentürk was a member of the criminal organization associated with Bahadır Akdağ and Beratcan Gökdemir, even though he knew that the managers of the organization, Bahadır Akdağ and Kemal Ürün, were supposed to be apprehended due to concrete mistakes; he carried them in his vehicle to avoid being caught.“
„Punishment was also demanded for the leader of the Fenerbahçe stand. The indictment stated that Ibrahim Gümüştekin, the leader of the Anatolian young Fenerbahçe fans, one of the Fenerbahçe stand groups that were attacked on January 11, collaborated with the criminal organization Daltons associated with Barış Boyun. It was stated that Gümüştekin, who was listed as a suspect in the indictment and demanded punishment, was not a member of the organization but was in a relationship with the manager of the organization, Zafer Boyun.“
„According to the indictment, at the request of the organization’s leader Zafer Boyun, Gümüştekin invited Halil Ay and his friends to his workplace named Savage Club in the Şişli district to attack Halil Ay and his friends. Gümüştekin also opened scarves from Zafer Boyun on the Fenerbahçe stand at the request of Zafer Boyun.“
