In Istanbul, a Turkish prosecutor has initiated legal proceedings against five individuals linked to the March 2024 Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow. The suspects are accused of recruiting the attackers by offering them 800,000 rubles and new passports. They face prison sentences ranging from 7.5 to 15 years if convicted. The prosecutor's request for sentencing comes amid ongoing investigations into the incident, which has drawn significant attention in both Turkey and Russia. In a separate incident in Antalya, a tourism worker named İsmail Takdir Kirişçi was fatally stabbed 12 times by four individuals who subsequently fled the scene but were later apprehended by police.
