The investigation that was launched in 1991 by the Fatih Public Prosecutor’s Office into the abduction of Hüseyin Toraman in İstanbul by armed plainclothes men driving a white car did not yield any results.
In October 2011, a new investigation was initiated by the İstanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office upon an information request made by the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey; however, it was later dismissed due to statute of limitations.
