Zafer Kilinc had been accused of military espionage and misconduct and he was sought by police in a court case in which he faced up to eight years in prison.

FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the July 2016 defeated coup in Turkey which left 250 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara also accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police and judiciary.
