Alleged activities for MİT

Specifically, according to these documents, Güven was the killer in the assassination of the Kurdish trade unionist Mehmet Kaygısız, who was shot dead in a London café in 1994. As of 2016, the murder has not led to a conviction.
Güven has denied involvement in the murder.[2][3]
