Turkey’s state-run news agency says authorities have detained 24 people in connection with an investigation into the leaking of a police academy exam in 2012.
Anadolu Agency said on Friday that detention warrants were issued for a total of 40 suspects who are suspected of leaking questions before the exam date. Turkish authorities believe that years-long exam fraud allowed supporters of US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen to infiltrate the police force. Turkey accuses Gulen of masterminding last year’s failed coup attempt. The cleric denies involvement.
