15 companies in Turkey’s Amasya seized by government

Fifteen more companies were seized as part of an investigation into the Gulen movement, which the Turkish government blames for the July 15, 2016 failed coup, media reported Monday.
A trustee panel was appointed to 15 companies in the Merzifon district in Turkey’s Amasya. The measure was taken on accusations of providing financial support to a terror group.
The government detained more than 160,000 people and jailed some 60,000 since the summer of 2016.
Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 companies with a total value of $12 billion in assets have been seized and then transferred to the state-run Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) since the coup attempt. The companies in question were mostly targeted as part of the government crackdown against the movement.
Turkish government calls Gulenists a terror group while the Gulen group denies involvement in the coup attempt and any terror activities.
