A Paris anti-terror judge has been appointed to the case following a complaint filed in March 2018 by the victims’ families, several sources told AFP.
Turkish national Omer Guney had been charged with murdering the three, but died in hospital of brain cancer in December 2016, just before his case came to trial. After his death, relatives had expressed fear that justice would never be done for the three murdered women. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and France’s Emmanuel Macron initially seemed to strike up a working bond, but their relationship has deteriorated after France designated a day to remember the genocide of Armenians in World War I, a term vehemently rejected by Turkey.
Comte commented: “Prosecutors admit that the case did not finish with the death of the suspect and the judge will look at all the elements, including the involvement of a foreign state.” A legal source said Wednesday it had been established that Guney had been active in espionage, maintained secret contacts with people in Turkey and even had a prison escape plan involving an MIT agent.
