Turkish prosecutor Ali Cenk has demanded six consecutive life sentences for each of 46 suspects, including 37 members of the military, in an alleged assassination attempt targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at a Marmaris hotel where he was vacationing on the night of a coup attempt in July, Turkish Minute reports, referring to DHA.
According to the report, in his new 25-page evaluation prosecutor Ali Cenk requested the acquittal of Lt. Col. Hüseyin Yılmaz while seeking six consecutive life sentences for 46 suspects, 44 of whom are in prison.
A 37-strong team of Special Forces members that attacked Erdoğan’s hotel on July 15 killed two policemen. But the court testimony has unearthed conflicting details of the operation.
