Verdict expected in mass Turkey trial of 'coup ringleaders'

Former air force chief Akin Ozturk is among 26 generals now awaiting sentence in one of the biggest coup-related trials held to date.

The prosecutor last month sought 252 aggravated – without parole – life sentences against nearly 40 suspects, local media reported. Such sentences carry harsher prison conditions. But nationwide raids by police have continued and there are almost daily reports of public prosecutors issuing detention warrants for suspects over Gulen ties.

Of the suspects, 176 are in jail while 35 have been freed pending trial and 13 suspects including Gulen are still sought for arrest, according to Anadolu.
