Anadolu Agency says Monday the vehicle with diplomatic license plates was discovered at the car park in Istanbul’s Sultangazi neighborhood, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) away from the consulate building, where Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed.
The agency says authorities need to obtain permission from the consulate as well as the Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office before searching the vehicle. Other Consulate vehicles were searched last week, along with the consulate building and the consul general’s residence.
Police sealed the entrance to the car park, the agency reported.
Saudi Arabia acknowledged Khashoggi’s death on Saturday, saying he was killed in a “fistfight” inside the consulate. Turkish media and officials say the 59-year-old Washington Post columnist was attacked by a 15-man Saudi team that cut off his fingers and decapitated him.
This murder by Saudis is especially ugly, especially Herr Trumpf’s defense of it, giving cover to the islamic tyrants. No excuse for this, Dumb Donald. None.
