Turkey has sent a new file to the US to beef up its evidences demanding the extradition of Fethullah Gülen, the Pennsylvania-based leader of the Gülenist movement, which is widely believed to have orchestrated the July 15, 2016 coup attempt in Turkey.
In the file, Turkey included a series of evidences that would strengthen its demand for the extradition of Gülen, as part of a bid the Turkish government has launched to try the prime suspects of the coup attempt under the Turkish law.
The file also included the flight information of another prime suspect of the coup attempt, Adil Öksüz, who travelled to the US a few days before July 15. The documents bore the dates of Öksüz’s round trip to the US, where he went with another Gülenist suspect Kemal Batmaz, the flights codes and the two names’ seat numbers on the plane. This information had reportedly been requested from U.S officials, the Hurriyet Daily reports.
