The Police Department Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crimes Branch took 100 Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) suspects into custody in counterterrorism operations across 31 districts in Konya, Turkey, on Thursday.
Among those taken into custody were top executives of the FETÖ terrorist organization.
During the investigation conducted by Konya's Chief Public Prosecutor, the FETÖ suspects were found to be “managers of a terrorist organization,” “members of a terrorist organization” and “providing financial aid to a terrorist organization.”
FETÖ terrorists are led by U.S.-based Fetullah Gülen, who orchestrated Turkey's July 15 coup attempt and is the mastermind behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police and judiciary.
Since the failed coup, operations have been ongoing in the military, police and judiciary as well as in state institutions across the country to arrest suspects with alleged links to FETÖ.
