Arrest warrants for Bağrıyanık, Takçı, Şişman, Karaca, and former Adana Gendarmerie Commander Özkan Çokay were issued May 6, on the grounds of “attempting to topple or stop it [the Turkish government] partially or completely from doing its duty by using force and violence.” They were arrested afterwards.
The Tarsus 2nd Court of Serious Crimes had ruled June 10 the four prosecutors and the former commander would remain under arrest, after the defendants’ attorneys left the court session when the judge refused their demand that the court hear the five defendants’ testimonies.

The Ankara Public Prosecutor’s Office is again investigating all previous allegations and cases against Fethullah Gülen, a U.S.-based Islamic scholar and erstwhile ally of the n_67124_1government, including cases in which he was acquitted.

Prosecutors from the crimes against the constitutional order bureau are investigating cases that were either dropped or resulted in an acquittal for Gülen.

The prosecutor’s office is looking into claims that the scholar “founded an organization with the aim of dissolving and plotting a coup against the Turkish Republic.”

Gülen is accused by prosecutors of “attempting to replace the secular state with an Islamic dictatorship ruled by shariah law.”

Prosecutors also say he has brainwashed young people, who attend schools of the Gülen movement, along with placing members of his movement in the Education Ministry and Police Department and even the military thanks to his foundations, schools and prep schools. Judicial officials also believe he has maintained his religious structure by financing it with suspicious sources.

His members have also joined political parties by “pretending to be modern,” according to prosecutors, who also accuse his followers of infiltrating other state organs, local governments and NGOs.

After a series of run-ins with the Turkish judicial system, Gülen moved to the United States in 1998.

Charges against Gülen were dropped in 1999, but Gülen insisted that the trial go ahead. Eventually, he was acquitted in 2006 of charges that he called his supporters to subvert the state. The Supreme Court of Appeals’ ninth bureau subsequently approved the not guilty verdict.
