A court in the capital, Ankara, approved on Friday the prosecutors' indictment implicating Gülenists in a mass cheating scandal on a civil service exam. The Second Heavy Penal Court accepted the indictment of 230 suspects accused of obtaining questions and answers to the exam and supplying them to Gülenists. The indictment accuses the suspects of being members of the Gülenist terrorist group led by fugitive imam Fethullah Gülen. The Ankara Public Prosecutor's Office said in a statement that the indictment includes evidence that suspects obtained questions and answers to the Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS) beforehand and supplied them to others.The indictment said the majority of suspects who achieved high marks on the exam were either relatives, members of the same family or worked at the same schools and companies linked to the Gülen Movement, according to media reports.Evidence also points to relations between fugitive suspects linked to the movement and those who proctored the exam.Apart from terror charges, suspects are accused of fraud. The prosecutors' statement said "the organization" aimed to achieve priority in the assignment to civil service posts to enable the infiltration of its members.Two nonprofit organizations run by the Gülenists are at the heart of the cheating scandal. Officials at the Turgut Özal and Hamle Associations are accused of obtaining questions and answers from Gülenists employed by the state-run body that organizes the exam and supplied them to fellow Gülenists. Senior officials from both associations disappeared after the inquiry began into past KPSS exams earlier this year and are believed to have fled abroad. Two former presidents of the Measuring, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), which oversees the exams, are among the suspects.The KPSS is the only exam one can take in Turkey to work in the public sector, barring a few exceptions to get a public sector job. Civil servants hired after passing the exam are employed in almost all state-run agencies, ranging from ministries to courthouses and prisons. It is viewed as a key stepping stone for Gülenists to infiltrate key posts.Yet, it isn't the only exam Gülenists are accused of cheating on for easy access into state posts. Their cheating scheme was also detected in international exams such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Test of English as A Foreign Language (TOEFL) and two renowned tests for English language proficiency. Sources say an undisclosed number of academics, reportedly linked to the Movement, were investigated after it was discovered that organizers of the IELTS in Turkey were bribed by Gülenists. IELTS is used for promotion of academics at universities. An inquiry in 2013 has found more than 1,500 people scored suspiciously high marks in exams at five private universities with ties to the Movement and were eventually employed by public universities. Like in the KPSS scheme, accomplished participants were found to be either couples or relatives and scored too low in previous easier exams organized by the ÖSYM.An inquiry on cheating in TOEFL exams focuses on allegations that Gülenists with higher language skills sat for the exams on behalf of those who failed in previous TOEFL exams.
