The Turkish-born man survived an assassination attempt in an Amsterdam office building on Derkinderenstraat on November 11th last year. He was the director of the construction company situated in the building. A few weeks earlier, Turkish former lawyer Haydar Zengin was shot and killed in the same building.

On July 21st investigators arrested a 34-year-old from Zaandam and a 23-year-old from Purmerend. On August 4th the magistrate extended the custody for both men with 90 days. Further investigation led to the 30-year-old man from Amsterdam, who was arrested at around 5:00 a.m. this morning. He is in custody for questioning and the police are investigating how he is connected to the fatal shooting. Despite these arrests, the investigators are still looking for information about the shooting.
