Turkish courts jailed 32,000 suspects for links to group 'behind' coup
Turkish
courts have placed 32,000 suspects under arrest on charges of links to a group
run by US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is blamed for the July 15 coup, the
justice minister said.
Bekir
Bozdag told Turkey's NTV television on Wednesday that 70,000 people had been
investigated after the coup and of them 32,000 remanded in custody.
"This process is continuing," he said. The numbers of those arrested marks an increase of more than 10,000 from those previously given by the government.
"This process is continuing," he said. The numbers of those arrested marks an increase of more than 10,000 from those previously given by the government.
Bozdag
said that there could be new arrests, while some of those currently arrested
could still be freed under judicial control or freed entirely.
Some
10 weeks after the coup attempt aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
led to an unprecedented crackdown, there is still no indication as to when
trials might start.
The
trials of tens of thousands will be the biggest legal process in Turkey's
history and are set to put the system under immense pressure.
"It
is not entirely clear how the trials will be carried out," Bozdag
acknowledged.
He
said trials would take place in cities across the country and not in one single
venue.
Bozdag
said there was no need to create a special trial venue in Istanbul as capacity
was sufficient. But he said one was needed in Ankara and work is taking place
for a trial venue at Sincan outside the capital.
"People
are not going to be put on trial in just one place but trials will take place
in all of Turkey," he said.
US
officials will respond to Turkey's demand to arrest Gulen within a couple of
days, the justice minister added.
Turkey
wants the US to extradite Gulen, who has lived in
Pennsylvania since 1999, and prosecute him for masterminding the attempt to
overthrow the government on July 15. The 75-year-old preacher denies any
involvement.
Washington
has previously said it is cooperating with Ankara and asked its NATO ally for
patience as it processes the extradition request to meet US legal requirements.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
