ISTANBUL (AA) – A Turkish court sentenced a Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) member to 10 years in prison, a judiciary source said on Monday.
Heavy Penal Court No. 36 in Istanbul convicted Ismail Safak Gudur, so-called education consultant of FETO, of being a member of an armed terror group, said the source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup on July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
