The presidential watchdog announced its report earlier this week on the Office of the President's website. The report said mistakes were made in the investigation of public officials who were suspected of having acted negligently in preventing the murder, adding that a sequence of negligent acts by public officials was not examined as a whole and that no investigation was launched separately into different state institutions.
However, six pages of the long-expected report were censored, reportedly due to state secrecy concerns, arousing curiosity among the public over what information they contained. Habertürk, claiming to have obtained the full report, said on Friday that the censored sections level serious and explicit accusations against police and gendarmerie officers and the İstanbul Governor's Office.
