Turkish courts have already begun several parallel trials over the coup attempt. Facebook Twitter Pinterest People gather around police officers loyal to the government standing atop tanks abandoned on the Bosphorus Bridge after the coup attempt. So far, the known evidence includes the testimony of Gen Hulusi Akar, chief of staff of the armed forces, who was detained on the night of the coup attempt. Another piece of evidence is the alleged whereabouts of Adil Öksüz, an imam whom Turkish prosecutors accuse of being part of the Gülen movement. Öksüz reportedly travelled to the US days before the coup attempt to meet the reclusive preacher, and on the night of the attempt was seen at Ankara’s Akıncı airbase.
