Fethullahist methods in the courts

Doğan Holding's Ankara representative, Barbaros Muratoğlu, has been detained on the grounds that "he was in contact with certain people who have FETÖ [Fethullahist Terror Organization] connections."  

It is not me, of course, who will decide whether Barbaros Muratoğlu is innocent or not. It will be the independent judiciary, which we still want to believe exists, that will make this decision.

The reason Muratoğlu was detained was a press story that was first published in the printed material called Akşam (unfortunately, I have a hard time calling it a "newspaper") and posted at takvim.com.tr.

According to these stories, Muratoğlu was "Aydın Doğan's FETÖ crypto." 

They had written, "It has been determined that Doğan Holding's Ankara representative, Barbaros Muratoğlu, was in close contact with top-level FETÖ members after the December 17/25 [2013] investigations." 

And, upon this, an Istanbul prosecutor is able to regard these stories as a tipoff and is able to rule for that person's detention.

Thus, a perception is created that he is and, through him, the entire Doğan Group are "guilty." 

This is a typical Fethullahist tactic. If you remember, they would also first print such stories in their papers, then afterward one of the prosecutors, who are now in jail or at large, would issue a detention order and thus the execution would be carried out.

However, they are neglecting the fact that this mud will not stick to us. 

It was not us who sent mediators to Fethullah when money safes and boxes were exposed and it...
