Ankara 1st Assize Court announced the reasoned decision for the decree of acquittal issued in the Ankara Gendarmerie Intelligence and Anti-Terror Unit (JITEM) Case with 19 defendants, including Mehmet Ağar, on 19 unsolved murders committed in 1990s. The court asserted that reports by the Susurluk Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (GNAT) as well as by Turkish National Intelligence are ‘merely based on rumors and guesses,’ further claiming that there is no evidence in the file despite the revelation of a gun used for homicides committed in different times in both Istanbul and Ankara, written death orders and witness statements.
