Arrests for 'framing' officials

For 'framing' Fenerbahce during the corruption investigation in 2011, Turkish authorities have arrested 38 people. State agency Anadolu reported that police had warrants for 64 people suspected in the plot from 28 cities across Turkey, but all of them were retained in populated largest city - Istanbul. Among the suspects are former police chiefs, lawyers and at least one journalist who are believed to belong to a 'terror organization' and have conducted illegal wiretapping. All will face charges and a possible indictment.
Fenerbahce is saying all along that this case was a set up from the police and prosecutors linked to Fethullah Gulen's movement, as an attempt to seize control of one of the Turkey's top clubs.
