Five individuals have been detained in connection with the armed attack on the bus of the Turkish football club Fenerbahce, which occurred 11 years ago. According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the announcement was made by Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek.
The incident took place on the Rize-Trabzon highway following a match against Caykur Rizespor. During the attack, the bus driver sustained injuries and was subsequently hospitalized. The case has remained a significant unresolved criminal investigation in Turkish sports history.
In May of this year, acting on instructions from Justice Minister Akin Gurlek, authorities reopened the investigation into the armed assault, which occurred on April 4, 2015. The reopening of this high-profile case marks a renewed effort by Turkish law enforcement to bring perpetrators to justice in an incident that shocked the Turkish sporting community and led to widespread calls for accountability.
