Trustee to be appointed for Gülen-linked İpek Koza companies
2015-10-27
President Erdogan no longer loves his former BFF Fethullah Gulen...
[Hurriyet] It has been decided a trustee panel will be appointed to replace the current board of directors of Koza Ipek, a corporation linked to the government's ally-turned-nemesis, U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gulen, upon the request of the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, state-run Anadolu Agency reported on Oct. 26.

A representative from the group, Okan Bayrak, said the company has not received any notification yet, declining to give further comments, as reported by Rooters.

Turkish police raided companies in Ankara belonging to Koza Ipek in September.

Anadolu Agency reported on Sept. 1 that the raid targeted 23 of the corporation's companies over what it noted as "giving financial support to the Fetullahist Terror Organization [FETÖ] and conducting its propaganda."

The detained persons were released on probation by an Ankara court on Sept. 2.

Ankara's Eighth Criminal Court of Peace then issued an arrest warrant in absentia for Akin Ipek, the chairman of Koza Ipek, who is reportedly in the United Kingdom.

Speaking to news hounds, Ipek's mother, Melek Ipek, denied allegations that her son had fled to escape trial.
