Turkish Abdulkadir Yavuz, who attempted to flee the occupied area after firing two shots at a parked vehicle in occupied Nicosia on December 27, 2023, was arrested at the illegal airport of occupied Tymbou on December 27, 2023.
According to Turkish Cypriot media, as reported by the Press and Information Office, the plane Yavuz was on had already taken off when the "police" asked for his return to the occupied territories where they arrested Yavuz.
In testimony to the "court" to which he was taken yesterday, Yavuz said that he was sent to the occupied territories by a person from Istanbul with the intention of shooting Bilal Tuna in the legs and that the pistol and bullets were given to him by some in the occupied territories.
Yavuz also claimed he regretted shooting not Tuna but only his vehicle when he saw that his wife was wearing a Muslim headscarf.
The "police" also arrested Oktay Felek, who according to the testimony given by Tuna, threatened him in a phone conversation they had via WhatsApp on December 13, 2023, telling him to sell a vehicle belonging to his company and hand over the money to him, otherwise "I will shoot you from where I sit".
