He attended very prestigious schools and then gradually climbed the ladder of Ottoman bureaucracy by earning the trust of Sultan Abdülhamit. That, however,did not last long.He was alleged to be one of the accomplices in a failed assassination attempt against Sultan Abdülhamit. Though he was later found to not be guilty in that crime, he felt betrayed by Abdülhamit and left the country. He later joined the Young Turks, a movement against the monarchy of Abdülhamit, in Europe. His life was cut short by his cons-tant health problems in the continent. Fol-lowing his passing, Sultan Abdülhamit insisted that Mahmut Celalettin Pasha’s final resting place be in Istanbul, but Prince Sabahattin, his son, resisted and M. Celalet-tin Pasha was buried In Paris. After the declaration of Second Constitutional Era in 1908 and consequent toppling of Sultan Abdülhamit, Prince Sabahattin brought his father’s remains to be buried again to the family grave in Eyup, Istanbul.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle
