Prosecutor Yusuf Hakkı Doğan is supervising the investigation and summoned Yılmazer, who was on duty at İstanbul Police Intelligence Unit.

The prosecutor reportedly also called Ogün Samast, the hit man in the murder of Dink, who was fatally shot outside the Agos weekly office in 2007, as a witness. Former İstanbul Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah will also be summoned as part of the investigation.

Yılmazer is currently behind bars on wiretapping charges.
