A former Turkish prosecutor, Gultekin Avci, was captured in the western city of İzmir after a court issued an arrest warrant for Avci on charges of being a member of a terrorist organization.
Avci was a staple on FETÖ-run TV channels before they were shut down in terror inquiries and was arrested last year in relation to an investigation into a FETÖ plot to imprison the group's critics. He was later released pending trial. As part of a renewed investigation into figures linked to the group, a court has recently issued an arrest warrant for Avci, who was found in his hideout in İzmir, the Daily Sabah reports.
