Turkish authorities issued detention warrants for 115 people across 15 provinces over links to last year's failed coup attempt, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Friday.

The operations were aimed at breaking up the "financial structuring" of the network of Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).

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 the 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.
