Gang leader confessed to having incited the shooting of several individuals, including his wife and businessmen, according to a document found on a floppy disk discovered in the home of a former national police chief as part of an investigation into a criminal organization. Police seized a computer, floppy disks and documents found in the home of former National Police Chief Adil Serdar SaƧan during a raid as part of the investigation into organized criminal activities in 2003. One of the disks included the transcript of an interview with Alaattin Ƈakıcı, arguably the most famous mafia boss in Turkey. According to the transcript, Ƈakıcı listed shootings he ordered in the past. Among the victims was his wife, Uğur KılıƧ, broker Adil Ɩngen, columnist Hıncal UluƧ and former FenerbahƧe soccer team Chairman Emin Cankurtaran. Ƈakıcı says about the shootings that he did "what was necessary," according to the document. Ƈakıcı was convicted of "leading an organized criminal gang" by an Ä°stanbul court in 2007. He was interrogated by Prosecutor Zekeriya Ɩz at the Beşiktaş courthouse last year as part of the Ergenekon probe, a clandestine terrorist organization charged with attempting to overthrow the government.
According to the transcript, Ƈakıcı also confessed to preventing around 40 businessmen from entering bids in the sale of TĆ¼rk Ticaret Bankası.
