Eleven suspects have been brought to an Ankara court in a case filed to persecute those alleged of eavesdropping on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an during his prime ministry, accused of "being members of a terrorist organization."

Two former police officers are each sentenced to seven years and six months in prison in case opened after bugs were found in the office and residence of then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an in 2011.

Two suspects who were allegedly involved in wiretapping then-prime minister President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and were caught in Romania in February denied all claims against them at a hearing in Ankara on May 4.
