Both he and Ugurlu had previously been named as accomplices of Mesut Cabuk and Gokhan Elaltuntas, the alleged suicide bombers in the 15 November attack on two Istanbul synagogues.
On i Ugurlu ranije su bili identifikovani kao saučesnici Mesuta Dzabuka i Gokhana Elaltuntasa, za koje se sumnja da su izveli samoubilačke napade na dve sinagoge u Istanbulu 15. novembra.
