One person was taken into custody for an alleged assassination plot against Star newspaper writer Metiner. Suspect K.B. is allegedly affiliated with the militant PKK. The journalist assumed that he was targeted due to his support of the AKP policies.

The Istanbul 11th High Criminal Court acquitted journalists Doğan and Kurt. They stood accused of showing a colonel as a "target" because of publishing his picture in the context of the investigation into an assassination plot against Deputy PM Arınç.
