Police in Turkey have arrested at least 33 people across the country for suspected links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), the group behind the 2016 defeated coup attempt.
According to police sources, the suspects allegedly have been playing “active role” in efforts to bring around the terror group, holding frequent meetings, and facilitating and harboring fugitive members of the group. The suspects are said to have been providing financial assistance to needy FETO members in order to keep their ties with the group intact.
In separate raids, eleven FETO suspects, including three women, have been arrested in 8 provinces including Usak, Istanbul, Izmir, and Antalya from whom they recovered computers and documents linking them to FETO.
The suspects are also said to be using the terror group’s encrypted messaging program ByLock.
