FETÖ ringleader’s niece arrested
The U.S.-based ringleader of Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) Fetullah Gulen’s niece was arrested on Friday, according to a security source.
FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup attempt of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
