Among the detained suspects are high-ranking leaders of the organization, marking a significant blow to the notorious group.

The arrest warrants were issued as part of an ongoing investigation into FETÖ's activities in the capital city, according to Turkish authorities.

The suspects face a range of serious charges, including membership in a terrorist organization, financing terrorism, and espionage. These charges underscore the gravity of the alleged offenses committed by the accused individuals.

Following the operations, all suspects were subjected to thorough health checks to ensure their well-being. Subsequently, they were transported to the Ankara Police Headquarters, where they will be held pending further legal proceedings.

This latest operation is part of the Turkish government's relentless efforts to dismantle FETÖ, which has been implicated in the attempted coup d'état in 2016. Over the years, the authorities have intensified their crackdown on the organization, aiming to bring all responsible parties to justice.

The successful arrest of these suspects demonstrates the unwavering determination of the Turkish government to root out FETÖ's network and hold its members accountable for their alleged criminal activities. The operation serves as a strong message that no individual or organization will be spared in the pursuit of justice and the preservation of national security.

The investigation is ongoing, and further updates regarding the case are expected to be announced in due course as legal proceedings progress. (ILKHA)
