Sedat Peker

Sedat Peker (born June 26, 1971 in Sakarya ) is the former leader of a criminal organization from Turkey . Peker is an avowed Turanist and has many supporters among the Turkish right-wing extremist Gray Wolves .

Life

Peker's family is originally from Rize in northeastern Turkey . Peker grew up in Germany and lived in Munich for many years .

In 1997 he was charged with the killing of the smuggler Abdullah Topçu and acquitted. Two other defendants, presumably Peker's men, were sentenced to life imprisonment in the same case.

He then fled to Romania and was wanted , among other things, for extortion , coercion and incitement to murder . During this time, a minister and a member of parliament from the motherland party allegedly visited him and guaranteed him in return that he would only serve a short sentence.

Peker was voluntarily brought to Turkey on August 18, 1998 and surrendered there. The trial against him opened in September 1998. To everyone's surprise, he confessed to the alleged acts and was sentenced to imprisonment for forming a criminal organization. During the trial, Peker made several strange statements that he did not elaborate on: “A former MP texted me and told me not to be too arrogant. I want to tell you [ie, the court] everything, because if I don't tell, I could commit suicide in dubious circumstances. ”Although the prosecutor called for a prison sentence of over 7.5 years, Peker received only one sentence of eight months and 29 days and was released on May 14, 1999.

On March 12, 2005, he was arrested as part of Operation Butterfly and sentenced on January 31, 2007 to 14 years, five months and ten days imprisonment in two cases for forming and leading a criminal organization, unsuitable attempted robbery , forgery and deprivation of liberty. During his sentence in the Type F prison in Kandıra , Peker married his lawyer Özge Yilmaz (* 1981) on May 30, 2008 in İzmit . He had already fathered a child with her while in custody.

On August 5, 2013, he started another prison sentence for having been part of the Ergenekon plan to overthrow Erdogan. Peker was sentenced to ten years in prison. He was released in March 2014 because the original prison sentence had been served and the verdict in the Ergenkon trial was not yet final. In 2016, all judgments in this process were overturned.

In January 2016, he threatened a thousand scientists in Turkey who had signed the " Academics for Peace " petition (calling for a peaceful settlement of the Kurdish conflict in their own country) that he would bathe in their blood.

Two weeks after the failed coup attempt in Turkey , Peker swore allegiance to President Erdoğan .
