Gülenists now involved in fraudulent sales


With all state institutions mobilized against its criminal financial activities, Gülenists are now trying to free assets from the judicial clutches of the state via fraudulent sales and other illegal means.The government, aware of the group's efforts to prevent the seizure of its funds, is preparing to pass laws to avert the danger. The bill will pave the way for those guilty of aiding and abetting the illegal transfer of funds being charged with supporting a terrorist group. Turkey's National Security Council (MGK) has included the Gülenist Terrorist organization (FETÖ) among the terrorist groups that pose a threat to the country's security.Investigations have revealed that the group is trying to offload many of the equities its foundations and associations own by sealing them via third parties. The ownerships of the equities are transferred to people whose links to FETÖ are not apparent. The bill will allow the prosecution of all suspects involved in illegal sales.
