The first question of Cakıcı after his capture, was, how the police had identified him. A 3-strong team pursuing Cakıcı, went to Greece, then Italy and Austria. A source told Hurriyet, “We were assisted by the police of these 3 countries. The capture of Cakıcı was a European operation.”

Cakici was captured on July, 14 in Graz, Austria. He was being tried of ordering an armed raid to a sports club, injuring 15 people and of forming an illegal organization.  The 1-year and 8-month prison sentence given to him was found small by the Appeals Court. He had fled Turkey just before being detained.
