- Turkish authorities detained 10 people in simultaneous raids in Istanbul and Eskişehir over alleged financial support for Burkay Karatepe while he was a fugitive.

- The suspects were taken to Muğla and referred to court after completing police procedures.
Ten suspects accused of financially supporting Burkay Karatepe during his time on the run have been sent to court in Muğla.
The investigation, led by the Muğla Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Terror Crimes Bureau, examined digital material seized from Karatepe and sought people allegedly linked to the FETÖ network. Karatepe, a dismissed captain, was described as a member of the team accused of targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during the July 15 coup attempt. He was arrested 10 years later.
Muğla police carried out simultaneous raids on Sept. 4, searching five addresses in Istanbul and five in Eskişehir. Officers detained 10 people and seized numerous digital devices and other materials.
After police procedures ended, the suspects were brought to Muğla, where they were referred to the courthouse around midday. The allegations remain the basis of the investigation.
