The prisoners include executives and employees of Bank Asya, which was founded by supporters of Fethullah Gülen and placed under control of the state last year.

Research in raising funds amounting to 50 million pounds (17 million dollars) for the organization of Gulen.


Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan accuses sometime ally preacher Fethullah Gulen, who lives in exile in the US, for the creation of "parallel state" and for conspiracy to overthrow the government through a network of supporters to justice, police and media enimeosis . Gulen's supporters deny the charges, according to the Athens Press Agency.

Turkish court issued the December 2014 arrest warrant for Gulen on charges of criminal association recommendation.
