New details emerge in alleged plot targeting Turkish minister's wife

New details have surfaced in an investigation into an alleged plot targeting Elif Gülşah Gürlek, the wife of Türkiye's Justice Minister Akın Gürlek. A witness testified that suspects Uğur Yılmaz and Yavuz Canbaşı discussed financial arrangements for carrying out the attack, with Canbaşı requesting TL 250,000 and Yılmaz promising TL 1.5 million after the job was completed. Police raided Yılmaz's residence and seized TL 1.748 million in cash, an amount close to the sum mentioned in the witness's statement. Additional evidence included over TL 3.2 million in cash and unlicensed firearms. Yılmaz denied involvement in the plot and claimed the money came from selling a car. Authorities allege that Yılmaz and Canbaşı recruited young individuals for armed attacks on behalf of organized crime groups. Both suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.
