Dilek Bozkurt/HALKWEB Murat Oğraş, the father of 16-year-old Burak Oğraş, who died suspiciously in Antalya in 2011 while doing an internship at Rixos Hotel, made new and striking statements on his social media account after the “Epstein documents” that made a great impact on the public.
In his legal struggle to clear the smokescreen behind his son's death, father Oğraş targeted hotel owner Fettah Tamince and the security services with heavy accusations.
Here are the main allegations and highlights of Murat Oğraş's statements:
“Email Failure to Forward is an Outright Lie”
Murat Oğraş drew attention to the communication traffic between DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Fettah Tamince, allegedly linked to the Epstein case. Oğraş argued that the defense that the emails in question were not forwarded by the secretary did not reflect the truth:
“It is impossible that the secretary did not forward an e-mail from such a powerful and influential man. Tamince is lying and suppressing the crime by trivializing it.”
Alleged Erasure of Records
Referring to the functioning of the identity reporting system (KBS) in hotels, father Oğraş reacted to the uncertainty regarding the hotel records of the names mentioned in the Epstein files.
He reminded that each guest is obliged to present a passport or ID card:
“It is impossible not to find identities; records may have been deliberately deleted or altered,”
“The cell phone was destroyed because it was evidence”
Oğraş claimed that his son's death was not an accident, but a murder and that it was caused by the events he witnessed:
Record Allegation: He claimed that Burak Oğraş was killed because he tried to record the “perversions” he witnessed at the hotel with his cell phone.
Missing Evidence He argued that his son's cell phone had been removed for this reason.
Accusations against the Police
Murat Oğraş also mentioned the negligence in the investigation process, “The police tried to cover up the incident because the place in question was a Rixos” and claimed that the process was not carried out transparently.
What happened?
In 2011, the death of Burak Oğraş, whose lifeless body was found in the empty pool of Rixos, was first considered as ‘suicide“, but with the efforts of his father, the case was reopened with the suspicion of ”intentional homicide“. Finally, the mention of Turkey and Rixos in the Epstein documents brought the family's quest for justice back to the top of the agenda.
