Key coup attempt figure 'phoned by number registered to US consulate': Claim

A prosecutor's office in Ankara has reportedly claimed in an indictment that a phone call was made by a mobile phone registered under the name of the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul to Adil Ökzüz, a suspected leader of the July 2016 coup, six days after the uprising. 

Prosecutors have completed the indictment on coup events centered on the Akıncı Air Base in Ankara, the headquarters of the coup attempt where members of the top brass were held captive by the plotters for hours, sources said, adding that the indictment would be made public on March 30.

The phone call from the U.S. Consulate General was made on July 21, 2016, the indictment reportedly said. 
Öksüz was caught while trying to escape from the Akıncı Air Base on the night of July 15, 2016, but he was released a short while later by a court in the Sincan district. 

He has been at large since then. 

It was previously revealed that Öksüz met high-level commanders in Ankara while preparing for the coup. It has also been claimed that Öksüz met Fethullah Gülen, the U.S.-based leader of the network in the U.S., to show him plans for the putsch.

Earlier reports said Öksüz was the "Air Force imam" of the Fethullah Gülenist Terror Organization (FETÖ). 
While the operation to apprehend Öksüz is continuing, authorities are conducting legal and administrative investigations. The Supreme Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) is investigating members of the judiciary responsible for releasing him, while also probing personnel in the Sincan Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the Interior Ministry. 

The U.S. has repeatedly refuted some Turkish media reports and accusations that it was involved in or had any advance knowledge of the coup attempt in Turkey....
