Just a day after an alleged sex tape emerged in the media of the 71-year-old politician, it was announced by the General Secretary of the Republican People\u2019s Party, Onder Sav, that the Istanbul Police Department had received a tip-off, of an assassination attempt to Deniz Baykal.<\/h2>\n

The tip-off was announced by Sav during a meeting of the Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) central executive council where several media channels and newspapers were present.<\/p>\n

Sav said “Without adding any words, I am about to announce to you (Media and public) of a tip-off which the Organized Crime Unit of the Istanbul Police Department has received,<\/p>\n

“Mustafa Sarigul, the Sisli (Borough in Istanbul) mayor has given a shoot order for Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) leader, Deniz Baykal,<\/p>\n

“Sarigul, contacted Mithat Y\u0131lmaz, the leader of a criminal organization through Osman Sevket, the Sisli Borough Deputy Mayor and asked Yilmaz to shoot Baykal from both his knees.”<\/p>\n

Sav continued “$300,000 cash of unknown origin was cashed out from the Sisli Borough’s cash box and taken to an address which is said to be a bogus company belonging to Mithat Y\u0131lmaz and given to the crime boss, by Osman \u015eevket Aslan.”<\/p>\n

“At the end of the job, $450,000 more was going to be given, making the cost of the assassination attempt $750,000. Both Osman \u015eevket Aslan and Mithat Y\u0131lmaz communicated with encrypted phones when they could not speak face to face”<\/p>\n

According to Sav, the assassination attempt was going to be on 13 April, 2010, to prevent Baykal from having a meeting with member of the European Commission, Stefan F\u00fcle, which was going to be at 18.30 the very same day.<\/p>\n

Sav even went as far as naming the men in which, Mithat Y\u0131lmaz, was going to use in the assassination attempt.<\/p>\n

However due to unknown reasons the assassination attempt to Baykal was cancelled.<\/p>\n

The Chief of the Istanbul Police department, Huseyin Capkin has also confirmed that a tip-off had been received of the assassination attempt but no arrests were made.<\/p>\n

This is the second shocking news which has emerged on Baykal in as many days.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Sar\u0131g\u00fcl was a former Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) member and won the Sisli Borough constituency under the party in 2004 with a 60% majority. This gave Sarigul confidence and ran to be the Republican People\u2019s Party’s leader which he lost to Deniz Baykal in 2005.<\/p>\n

That very same year Sarigul was expelled from the Republican People\u2019s Party for turning the “general assembly into an uproar scene”.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Sar\u0131g\u00fcl has since denied the allegations saying it is absurdness by a mad man.<\/p>\n
