Turkish authorities have arrested 11 suspects as part of an investigation into the alleged police network of the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ), following the analysis of digital records obtained from a secret witness known by the code name “Garson” (Waiter) prosecutors said on Monday.
The investigation, led by the Terror Crimes Bureau of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, targeted what authorities described as FETÖ’s “confidential law enforcement structure,” a network accused of infiltrating the Turkish police force.
According to prosecutors, evidence was derived from data stored on a microSD card obtained from the secret witness, which contained detailed records on the group’s internal organization, communication methods and member evaluations.
Investigators said the files revealed a system of codes used by the organization to classify its members according to their level of loyalty and involvement.
As the Sabah newspaper reported, among the codes identified was “SAYA,” assigned to individuals considered fully committed to the group and strictly compliant with its instructions. Other designations, including “DIL 1,” “DIL 2” and “DIL 3,” were reportedly used for members who had joined the group but had not yet been assigned active responsibilities and remained under evaluation and training.
