New details emerged in the case of the murdered Hrant Dink, Editor-in-Chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos. A legal act on a charge of the criminal omission for the imminent crime was initiated against Ramazan Akyürek, Head of the Police Intelligence Department, — who finally left the office Oct. 16.

The investigation shows that the police was informed about the schemed crime a year in advance. Lawyers of Dink’s family accuse Turkish Police Intelligence in information concealment. The Attorney Fethiye Çetin welcoming Akyürek’s dismissal still called it “too belated”.

Hrant Dink, 52, was murdered by Turkish nationalists January, 2007 near the Agos editorial office in Istanbul. Hearings of the cause-celebre are still in progress.
