Shocking Allegations in Gülistan Doku Case: How Evidence Was Concealed

The Erzurum Chief Public Prosecutor's Office made a significant statement regarding the Gülistan Doku investigation. The statement revealed that concrete evidence was found that local bureaucratic elements and public officials, under the coordination of former Tunceli Governor Tuncay Sonel, had systematically concealed evidence. This development completely changed the direction of the investigation.In the investigation into the disappearance of university student Gülistan Doku, who has been missing in Tunceli since January 5, 2020, 18 more suspects were detained. Following the instructions of the Erzurum and Tunceli Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices, the Erzurum Gendarmerie Command conducted simultaneous operations in Nevşehir, Istanbul, Isparta, Bilecik, Bursa, Çanakkale, Ordu, Aydın, Diyarbakır, Kayseri, Ankara, Erzincan, Eskişehir, İzmir, and Antalya.The operation involved 19 suspects, including a police chief, police commissioner, chief inspector, inspector, chief police officer, 10 police officers, a computer operator, and 3 retired police officers. The procedures for the 18 detained suspects are ongoing.All evidence and findings obtained during the investigation are being evaluated and examined with great care and attention. According to the initial findings of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, there is strong evidence to suggest that former Tunceli Governor Tuncay Sonel, along with high-ranking administrative and law enforcement officials, local bureaucratic elements, and public officials, used their public power, official protection, and bureaucratic influence to intervene in judicial, digital, and medical systems, indicating that the incident was committed within an organized structure involving multiple crimes.Former Tunceli Governor Tuncay Sonel, his police guard Şükrü Eroğlu, and retired police officer Gökhan Ertok were also referred to the Erzurum Courthouse today due to digital evidence.
