Dink family lawyers accuse Turkish police of complicity in journalist's murder
The lawyers of Dink's family demand a legal investigation against those officials who were accessories to the crime, said lawyer Bahir Bayrams Belen. Another lawyer Fetye Cetin submitted a copy of the document in which the Trabzon police informed their Istanbul counterparts of the planned murder. Furthermore, 17 analogous applications were addressed to the Istanbul police as well. "All this proves it was not neglect or forgetfulness but direct complicity of the authorities in the crime," she said, reports RFE/RL.
