Cause of death of Kaşif Kozinoğlu announced

Turkey’s Council of Forensic Medicine has sent its report on the 2011 death of former National Intelligence Organization (MİT) official Kaşif Kozinoğlu to the Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, reopening a case that has lingered for more than a decade. Kozinoğlu died while in prison, and the long-delayed forensic findings are now formally before prosecutors handling the file. The report’s arrival marks a procedural step rather than a conclusion, as the prosecutor’s office must decide whether the findings prompt further inquiry or charges. The case matters because it touches Turkey’s intelligence establishment and the credibility of custodial death investigations. What to watch next is whether the Silivri prosecutor acts on the report and whether its conclusions become public.
