Detention warrant issued for 8 people in FETO investigation

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office issued detention warrants for eight suspects, three of whom are currently on duty, in an investigation into the secret structure of the FETÖ Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

According to a statement from the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the Terror Crimes Investigation Bureau launched an investigation into suspects who were identified as members of FETÖ's secret structure within the Foreign Affairs Organization, who were identified as using the organization's secret communication tool "ByLock," who had records of consecutive calls from payphones and landlines, and who had witness testimonies indicating they were members of the organization.

In this context, detention orders were issued for 5 suspects who were dismissed from their jobs due to their connections with the organization while working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 3 suspects who are still working in the institution.

It was reported that operations to capture suspects are continuing within the scope of the investigation launched in four provinces, centered in Ankara, by the Anti-Terrorism Branch Directorate teams.

A fire broke out on the 4th floor of a 26-storey building in a housing estate in the Alacaatlı Neighbourhood of Ankara's Çankaya district at around 22:00 on July 13 due to the material used in the electrical installation in the shaft section of the building not being up to standard.

The flames quickly spread to other floors. While the fire was brought under control in four hours, three-and-a-half-month-old Aras Şahin, Hüsniye Çelik Şahin, and 63-year-old security guard Muharrem Çetinkaya lost their lives.

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office assigned three public prosecutors to the incident. Following the fire's cooling-down process, an initial investigation conducted by experts consisting of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and firefighters determined that the fire was caused by an electrical installation.

An arrest warrant was issued for the contractors. The contractor, who was apprehended and detained in Uşak, was brought to Ankara for questioning.

THREE PEOPLE WANTED While detention orders were issued for 9 suspects, including the building contractors, the building inspection chief, the construction site officer and the cooperative officer, who were considered to be at fault in the fire according to the expert report, 6 suspects were caught.

Following procedures at the police station, contractors B.Ş. and KD, along with construction site manager İ.K., were referred to the courthouse and arrested. Judicial control orders have been issued for the three individuals, and efforts to apprehend them are ongoing.
