Last Monday the news broke, not only of the bombing in a Berlin Christmas market, but we also learned of the murder of the Russian ambassador to Turkey while making a statement on television. The murderer, a Turkish police officer, who was off duty, was killed by the police seconds after killing the ambassador with several shots. To try to get more information and find out if he is related to a terrorist cell, the Turkish police have asked Apple to help them unlock the terrorist's phone, which appears to be locked using a password, as this particular model has not yet implemented Touch ID.
Although Apple has not yet responded to the request, it is most likely that it will refuse as it did with the FBI when it requested the unlocking of the iPhone 5c of one of the terrorists of the San Bernardino attempts, a year ago now. . However, Russia, a party involved in this attack, seeing how its ambassador in the country has been assassinated, has informed the police that They will be in charge of accessing all the information that was inside the device. Once again it shows that the Russian authorities have no problem accessing any device, even if Apple boasts of its security.
Mevlut Mert Altintas, 22 years old, a Turkish police officer, used his ID to access the art gallery where the interview was taking place and, shouting "Don't forget Aleppo", shot several times against the ambassador, killing him instantly. Both Russia and Turkey have described this murder as an attempt to destabilize relations between the two countries, due to the different positions they maintain in the conflict on the war in Syria.
