Turkish authorities on Friday widened their post-coup crackdown to the business sector, detaining three major businessmen as part of investigations into the activities of US-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, reported Hurriyet Daily News.
Security forces in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri detained the chairman of the family-owned Boydak Holding company, Mustafa Boydak, and two other top executives.
He and the two other executives - Şükrü and Halit Boydak - were detained at their homes. Efforts were continuing to detain former chairman Hacı Boydak as well as İlyas and Bekir Boydak for whom warrants have also been issued.
The detentions were part of an investigation into the financing of Gülen’s activities in Turkey.
Ankara blames the cleric for the failed July 15 coup attempt aimed at unseating Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
