Gulen

Federal prosecutors are investigating a espionage case involving a Turkish man suspected of allegedly tracking people he believed to be related to Fethullah Gulen, the late rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In August 2017, I met him in an apartment in a central area of Athens. For security reasons, his name could not be revealed, nor could his face be shown. The 25-year-old E. was the first Turkish citizen and supporter of the Gulen movement to be officially granted political asylum in Greece after the failed coup in Turkey.

Fethullah Gülen, the leader of the FETÖ terrorist organization, was buried on Oct. 24 at his residence in Pennsylvania, the United States, four days after his death in an apparent delay amid internal strife within the group.

A crowd surged forward to Fethullah Gulen's grave on Thursday, straining to get one more chance to pay their respects to the influential Turkish spiritual leader and Islamic scholar who died this week in self-exile in the United States.

It was a spectacular falling out.
