Two men who were suspected of robbing a bank in Lebanon have been detained in Istanbul after Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called his Turkish counterpart to ask for help, Turkish newspaper Akşam reported on June 1.

Turkish daily Akşam's editor-in-chief, Murat Kelkitlioğlu, has been sentenced to pay compensation worth 3,000 Turkish Liras to Doğan Group Honorary Chairman Aydın Doğan over a column that he wrote about Doğan. 

A prosecutor's office in Istanbul, which ordered the detention of Doğan Group's Ankara representative, Barbaros Muratoğlu, has cited articles published in two pro-government newspapers as evidence, daily Hürriyet has learned. 

The Doğan Group has released a statement rejecting reports that an "operation" has been conducted against Doğan Holding after its Ankara representative, Barbaros Muratoğlu, was detained in Ankara early on Dec. 1.

Muratoğlu's detention came after daily Akşam editor-in-chief Murat Kelkitlioğlu leveled a series of accusations claiming he was linked to the Gülen movement 10 days ago.

Doğan Holding Ankara representative Barbaros Muratoğlu has been detained in Ankara.

Muratoğlu, who was detained at his residence at 6 a.m. on Dec. 1, will be transferred to Istanbul.

Muratoğlu was detained as part of the investigation into the Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ), some media reports said.

Veteran journalist Nail Güreli has died at the age of 84 on Oct. 26 in Istanbul, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.
