Germany investigates 20 suspected of spying for Turkey

‘German prosecutors have launched an investigation into a case involving 20 people suspected of spying for Turkey on alleged followers of a cleric whom Ankara blames for the last year coup attempt.
Germany’s Interior Ministry said Thursday that the suspects had been investigated by federal prosecutors on suspicion of denouncing to Ankara the people believed to be supporters of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen.
“At the moment, a total of 20 accused and persons unknown are under investigation over suspicions that they worked as secret service agents on the orders of the Turkish government, and spied on followers of the Gulen movement,” said the ministry in response to a query in the German Parliament from the Left party.’
