The suspects, all suspended teachers, were taken into custody as part of a probe launched by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Bilecik, said the source who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to the media.
FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gülen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 250 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara also accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
