During the meeting, which was also attended by the Dink family\u2019s lawyers, Rakel Dink and the lawyers once again expressed frustration over the state\u2019s failure to protect her husband.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation that followed Dink\u2019s death revealed that the police had been tipped off to plans to murder the journalist. Nineteen suspects are currently facing trial in the murder case. A majority of the suspects, including the hitman, are from Trabzon, where the police say they had informed the \u0130stanbul police about the plot to kill Dink on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to having ignored the tip-off about the plot, lawyers representing the plaintiff are accusing the police of destroying crucial evidence to protect some of the suspects, among whom is an ex-police informant.<\/p>\n<p>According to Milliyet, G\u00fcl is closely following the DDK\u2019s investigation and is being briefed about every stage in the probe by DDK President Cemal Boyal\u0131.
