Objection to digital evidence in the ÇHD case: "The digital materials former police intelligence chief Ramazan Akyürek sent to prosecution is not the DVD that came from abroad as claimed. One DVD was replaced with a CD."

Ramazan Akyürek, former Chamber of Intelligence Chairman, has been detained in Ankara within the murder investigation of Hrant Dink - murdered editor-in-chief of Agos newspaper.

Chief of Police Intelligence Office Ramazan Akyürek was removed from office. Akyürek was chief of police in Trabzon before the Dink murder and had employed Erhan Tuncel as an under-cover police informant. The Supervisory Committee held Akyürek responsible for neglect of his duty. The Dink family blamed him of a "neglect resulting in death".

It has emerged that murdered priest Andrea Santoro’s phones had been tapped for three months at the time of his murder. Dink murder suspect Yasin Hayal had also been monitored for suspected al Qaida leanings.
