Since the bloody coup attempt, 2,279 administrative and judicial judges, 104 members of the Appeals Court, 41 members of the Council of State, two members of the Supreme Court, and three members of the Supreme Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) have been arrested in FETÖ probes.
A total of 6,341 soldiers have been arrested under FETÖ probes, including 168 army generals, 7,596 Security Directorate police officers, 17 governors, 74 deputy governors, and 69 district governors under the Interior Ministry.
