Flight attendant brought in as part of investigations into the crash of the Libyan airliner

The investigation into the crash of the plane carrying a Libyan delegation that crashed near Ankara is ongoing, with the Turkish authorities proceeding to bring in and interrogate the flight attendant, who is a citizen of the Republic of Cyprus.

According to information, the flight attendant - a member of the crew that had transported the aircraft to Turkey - was brought from the hotel where she was staying, following the initiatives of the MIT and the order of the Ankara Prosecutor's Office. He was taken to the Ankara Security Directorate, where he was interrogated by the Anti-Terrorist Service.

According to the same sources, at the initial stage of the interrogation, no "tangible" evidence emerged, however, the investigation of her contacts and connections continues.

The process was carried out with increased discretion, due to her status as a citizen of the Republic of Cyprus, it added.

It is recalled that the Libyan army chief Mohamed Ali Al-Haddad and members of his entourage died in the crash.

The aircraft lost contact shortly after take-off while still in Ankara airspace.
