State-run Anadolu agency said late on Thursday that a court had remanded the executive in custody on an accusation of “aiding a terror group” as part of an investigation into the exiled Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen and his followers.
Dogan Holding, which includes the country’s largest media group, said on December 1 that executive Barbaros Muratoglu was being investigated. Dogan’s Hurriyet newspaper also reported his formal arrest on its website.
