Turkish police detained 20 out of the 77 suspects in the investigation launched against the Gülenist Terror Organization (FETÖ) in central Konya province, decoding the group's Central Anatolia web.

According to Anadolu Agency, Provincial Police Department's organized crime units conducted an investigation into the financial sources and nearly 750 suspected members of FETÖ, including social media analysis and other police databases, during which they seized information regarding the group's activities. Konya Public Prosecutor's Office launched an operation against suspects, who were believed to be active members, after obtained evidence exposing links to the group activities.

The Konya-based operation was simultaneously conducted in 12 other provinces.

The suspects included FETÖ's Central Anatolia head (so-called imam), responsible for 23 provinces and had been trained directly by Fetullah Gülen, Konya head, Konya educational advisor, general manager of educational institutions, recruiters, and other leader figures from the province.

Six other suspects, who had been Konya's provincial heads since the 1980's, were also determined.

The provincial imam was founded to be responsible for all activities, while a shadow imam – secretary – would be the one who would have links to important figures in the government. The group's educational advisor reportedly would have effective power in judicial processes, while each province would have a 'provincial account' responsible for determining and managing financial sources.Turkey's government has repeatedly said the deadly coup attempt, which killed more than 230 people and injured nearly 2,200 others, was organized by U.S.-based ringleader Fetullah Gülen's followers and the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO).

Gülen is also accused of running a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary, forming what is commonly known as the parallel state.
