Turkish regime’s authorities issued arrest warrants for four suspects

The Turkish regime’s authorities on Wednesday issued arrest warrants for four suspects, including three former brigadiers, over alleged links to the Fethullah Organization, the group that was accused of being behind the 2016 defeated coup in Turkey.

Authorities in Ankara launched the investigation after being notified by the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) on three retired brigadier generals and a “covert imam” thought to be affiliated to Fethullah Organization, according to a statement by the prosecutors’ office.

Police teams in Ankara arrested three of the suspects and are still searching for the remaining one.

Turkey accuses the Fethullah Organization of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
