Turkey: Arrest Warrants out for 8 FETO-Linked Suspects
Turkish prosecutors issued arrest warrants for at least eight suspected members of Fetullah Organization -- the group behind a defeated coup in 2016 -- for alleged involvement in police exam fraud.
TEHRAN (Defapress)-The warrants were issued by Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office in the capital Ankara.
The suspects are accused of leaking the commissioner exam to FETO-linked police officers ahead of the 2011 test, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
FETO and its US-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people dead and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara also accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
