Eleven people were arrested following the deaths of tourists in Istanbul.
According to preliminary information, as part of the investigation into the death of the Bojek family from Germany, Istanbul police closed the Harbour Suites hotel and conducted a full inspection.
According to authorities, the number of detainees has reached 11, including an employee of a disinfection company and two hotel workers.
The incident occurred on November 12. The German tourists - father, mother, and two children - were hospitalized with symptoms of vomiting and feeling unwell, but they were released on the same day. The next day, their two children (aged three and six) died, and their mother passed away the next day. The father is currently in critical condition in the intensive care unit.
Sources close to the investigation suggest that the guests' condition may be related to the hotel's water system or chemicals used during the disinfection process. Nevertheless, these versions have not yet been officially confirmed.
It turned out that the Harbour Suites hotel does not have its own kitchen, but only provides drinking water. Therefore, the main focus is on water sources.
The incident caused a strong resonance among the Istanbul public and the German media. The German Embassy is closely monitoring the incident and has demanded an official medical examination in cooperation with local authorities.
The investigation is ongoing, but no official statement has been released yet regarding the exact reason.
