Between 1981 and 1983, he was involved in the smuggling of gold and diamonds with the help of jewelers of Armenian and Syriac origin in the Grand Bazaar of İstanbul.
In 1983, when Dündar Kılıç and İsmail Hacısüleymanoğlu started to put pressure on the non-Muslim and Diyarbakır-born jewelers in the Grand Bazaar in order to take control of gold and diamonds smuggling, he organized the bombing and an armed attack carried out by ASALA in the Grand Bazaar.
He and Hüseyin Baybaşin were partners in the smuggling of 3 tons of drugs on the ship MV Kısmetim 1 that sunk in the Mediterranean end of December 1992.
On various dates, he collected money in the name of the PKK from drug smugglers named Savaş Buldan, Hüseyin Erez, Hasan Erez, Cahit Kocakaya and Eyüp Kocakaya.
He was abducted by Turkish mobsters dressed like police on 14 January 1994, and his corpse was found the next day in the vicinity of Sapanca.
