Federal prosecutors in Germany announced charges against a Turkish national in North Rhine-Westphalia for allegedly providing information on dissidents to Turkish police and intelligence services.
Prosecutors indicated the suspect assisted in tracking supporters of Fethullah Gulen, the US-based cleric previously aligned with President Erdogan who fell out of favor.
Between September 2018 and August 2021, the suspect anonymously informed Turkish authorities about individuals he believed supported Gulen, naming residents from the Duren region.
The accused, identified only as Mehmet K., remains at large, and authorities noted their confidence in the allegations is 'adequate', reflecting a nuanced approach.
