Cumhuriyet Journalist Mahmut Licali revealed that Turkish Imams in Germany have helped Turkish Intelligence Agency MIT (Millî İstihbarat Teşkilatı) in the search for information on suspected members of the Fethulah Gulen’s movement.
According to widespread German Newspaper Die Welt, the Turkish imams have spied on and filled reports, in some cases very detailed, on suspected Gulen supporters.
A Turkish parliamentary committee, tasked with looking into the backgrounds of the coup, has received reports from 50 diplomatic missions located in 38 countries.
Three of these reports originated in Germany, from the consulates-general in the cities of Cologne, Duesseldorf, and Munich.
They were compiled from information supplied by clerics employed by the Turkish-Islamic Union for the Institution of Religion (DITIB).
A significant proportion of those being spied on are likely to be German citizens.
