gulen

If Turkish agents black-bagged anyone in the US, it'd be either Gulen or a Kurdish separatist.

The Islamic fundamentalist fethullah gulen gang is a secret organization that has taken over most important positions in Turkish police and courts.

The Gulen movement was close ally with the government till recently.

I don't know if Gulen was a CIA himself but there are ample clues that he is at least involved with the US government.

(Michael Flynn discussed black-bagging Gulen as a favor to Erdogan during the first Trump administration, but that proposal went nowhere [0,1]).

To put it simply it was the beginning of the genocide of peaceful Gulen movement members or anyone who had any kind of connection with them in the past.

The government has been sacking police chiefs and reassigning commanders all over the country, in an attempt to break up any Gulen supporters, and to seize power over the police again.

The allegations against the Gulen movement are not proven at all but few years ago the same prosecutors started a case against the military and lot's of unlawful things took place during the whole trail process.

Well, that's clearly part of it, but the release of the tapes appears to be a gift from the Gulen movement, who don't appear to be much more appealing than the current crop of corrupt islamists, or the previous crop of corrupt nationalists.

Possible conclusions are a)he does not believe they are corrupt (despite significant evidence to the contrary) b) he believes struggle against Gulen movement is more important c) his hands are not sufficiently clean to take any action His current position is indeed mostly ceremonial but still has impact.

This has resulted in the Gulen people uncovering a ton of dirt on AKP members, including mind-blowing corruption scandals that include millions in cash being kept in shoeboxes in the personal residence of the owner of a national bank and important people being complicit, including the PM Erdogan's sons.

Your article: "More than 50,000 people have been arrested in Turkey pending trial over links to Mr Gulen.

Gulen has gotten a large number of politicians and businessmen under his influence in this way and others.

Well, for once the CIA agent Graham Fuller[0] actively supported Gulen's green card application[1].

Gulen schools are known to be rigorous and many of their students then get scholarships to study in the west in Europe and America.
