Gaziantep public prosecutor's office released arrest warrants against 14 FETO-linked suspects across three Turkish provinces on Friday.
The arrest warrants were issued against the suspects over their alleged links to “the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO)”.
A large number of digital documents were seized during the searches conducted at the addresses of the suspects, officials said.
Since May 2016, Turkey has classified the FETO organization as a terrorist organization under the assigned names Fethullahist Terrorist Organization and Parallel State Structure.
After the failed coup attempt in 2016, the government of Turkey blamed the group for the coup and authorities arrested thousands of soldiers and judges who have links to the organization. (ILKHA)
