Arrest warrants issued against 74 FETO-linked suspects
Arrest warrants were issued against 74 FETO-linked suspects in Konya and Balıkesir provinces of Turkey on Tuesday.
Konya public prosecutor's office released arrest warrants against 50 FETO-linked suspects across 22 provinces.
At the same time, 24 suspects were detained in the investigation into the structure of FETO in the courts and prisons.
Since May 2016, the FETO organization has been classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey under the assigned names Fethullahist Terrorist Organization and Parallel State Structure. After the failed coup attempt in 2016, the government of Turkey blamed the group for the coup and authorities have arrested thousands of soldiers and judges who have links to the organization. (ILKHA)
