As the sealed documents of the Jeffrey Epstein case are unsealed one by one, it becomes clear “armor of the untouchables” and prostitution network across the ocean. This transatlantic network of child abuse and prostitution is not just a perverted criminal organization; it is the most concrete, blood-curdling proof of how money, politics and power can blind justice.
As the sealed documents in the world-shaking Jeffrey Epstein case were unsealed, the scandal began to reach unpredictable shores. Allegations about the Turkish extensions of this shadowy transatlantic network have brought a case that has been waiting for justice for years back to the public conscience: The Burak Oğraş case...
In 2011, Burak Oğraş lost his life at the age of 16 while interning at the Rixos Hotel owned by Fettah Tamince in Antalya. “suspect” and the case remained open. But today's revelations raise the possibility that the case may have intersected with a global scandal, not just local negligence.
“Girls in Education” and Hotel Registrations
The correspondence allegedly related to Fettah Tamince and Rixos Hotels in the Epstein documents was the main factor that sparked the controversy. Especially the correspondence “Training Girls” (Girls in Education), and the Turkish connections of some of the names in Epstein's network at the time, raises a terrible question about Burak Oğraş's death: Did Burak witness something he should not have seen?
Burak's father Murat Oğraş has been saying for years “his phone was destroyed” and “camera footage was blacked out” allegations take on a much graver meaning in this new context. If, as alleged, Burak was filming an incident at the hotel that was linked to Epstein or a similar organization and that is why he was targeted, this is not just a murder, but a cover-up of an international crime.
The “Power” Barrier to Justice
Fettah Tamince's political influence “immunity” armor is the biggest criticism of why the Burak Oğraş case has remained unsolved for 13 years. As we saw in the Epstein case, the reality of how money and power can paralyze justice is unfortunately reflected in the story of a young life that ended by the poolside of this hotel in Antalya.
What is the fate of Burak's phone? Anything that was erased that night “deteriorating” Who was on the camera recordings? Is there a causal link between the “Turkish details” mentioned in the Epstein documents and Burak's death? These questions are no longer just for a grieving father, but for the entire public.
Truth Does Not Stay in Darkness
The Epstein scandal proved that even the most powerful people in the world can be exposed one day. If Turkey is able to protect its own “suspect” If he wants to shed light on these deaths and the dark webs behind them, he should start with the Burak Oğraş case.
Justice has to be bigger than the power of a hotel owner or the shadow of international connections. Finding out what Burak saw that day and what he recorded on his phone will not only ease a family's pain; it will also prove the maturity of Turkey's justice system.
