More than 270 members of the judiciary in Istanbul were held Saturday in connection to a failed coup attempt.
A total of 272 prosecutors and judges were detained and prohibited from leaving the country, according to Istanbul prosecutor's office.
The detainees are accused of being members of FETO, the organization led by Fetullah Gulen that is accused of carrying out the attempted overthrow, Turkish Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
According to AA, the government said the coup bid was organized by followers of expatriate Turkish national Gulen, who is accused of pursuing a long-running campaign to overthrow the government through supporters within the Turkish state, particularly the military, police and judiciary.
