Gülenist Twitter account @FuatAvni silent after investigation

The Gülen Movement-liked Twitter account @FuatAvni, which represents itself as a whistle blower, has been silent after a recent investigation into the National Judiciary Informatics System (UYAP).

The @FuatAvni account, which is known to be a fabricated name affiliated with and used by the Gülen Movement to allegedly leak exclusive information, shares predictions that come true from time to time. The exclusive information that turns out to be true concerns doubts that members of the Gülen Movement are present in key government institutions and obtain confidential information illegally.

However, at the beginning of this month the Gölbaşı Public Prosecutor's Office in Ankara launched an investigation due to the leak of information operations into the "parallel structure" before their execution that were shared on Twitter by the @FuatAvni account. Courts and prosecutor's offices input information regarding investigations and warrants to UYAP before operations. In the preliminary investigation it was determined that two operations that were not entered into the system were not leaked. The focus shifted on UYAP and it was confirmed that immediately after the information was uploaded, the details of the operations were leaked on social media. Concentrating on this development, the prosecutor's office launched a thorough investigation into UYAP officials in 81 cities.

Last January, the Gölbaşı Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into the user or users of the @FuatAvni Twitter account for violating the privacy of an investigation into illegal wiretapping activities allegedly carried out by members of the Gülen Movement in government positions and institutions such as the judiciary and police.

Furthermore, last February, the Ankara Public Prosecutor's Office launched a probe into allegations of an assassination plot against the president's daughter, Sümeyye Erdoğan. The claimed attempt was unveiled in alleged texting between main opposition Republican's People Party (CHP) Istanbul Deputy Umut Oran and the @FuatAvni Twitter account, which some claim to be controlled by Gülen Movement-affiliated columnist Emre Uslu. Turkish media outlets reported that Uslu, a former police officer and a well-known figure of the Gülen Movement, is behind the social media account.
