After the coup attempt of July 15, 2016, internal divisions among FETO members and some of them applying for asylum were observed. Alsancak serves as the security secret imam of the organization.
It was disclosed that even years after the July 15 coup attempt, Alsancak forcibly gathered members of the organization who came from the USA and applied for asylum in European countries and forced them to continue organizational activities in line with his orders.
The attempts of Alsancak, the planner of the murder of Ambassador Karlov, which was within the scope of international espionage, to "keep FETO's former police officers in a confidential structure with threats" were explained by former Chief of Police Ahmet Karaoğlu, who is a fugitive police member of the organization and has a statutory decree.
The fugitive FETO member confessed in his online publication, in which he proved the active role of the organization in the coup attempt, about his desire to continue the activities of the secret structure of the organization after July 15, about Alsancak's instructions to the police officers under his command not to "resist the coup plotters", and about FETO ringleader Fetullah Gülen keeping Alsancak in the same position even years after the treacherous coup attempt.
Stating that FETO member secret police imams in Europe are acting as the Turkish branch of the International Police Association (IPA) and trying to gather former FETO police officers who were suspended by decree or became refugees in European countries after the coup attempt, Karaoğlu stated that IPA can normally open a representative office in every country only through an official organization.
He tried to revive the private structure in Europe
Explaining his experiences, the fugitive former police officer said that Temel Alsancak's "secret duty still continued even in 2019 and Gülen was aware of it."
Former FETO member of the police, Temel Alsancak, went from the USA to Europe from time to time to visit former police officers, and when he came to Germany, when a member of the secret structure there did not want to continue his cooperation, he slammed his hand on the table and said, "I will finish you off, I will not give you the right to live." He explained what he said.
In the online publication, it was claimed that Alsancak and his team threatened former FETO members of the police who applied for asylum in Europe and wanted to break away from the organization by "not allowing them to earn money and preventing them from receiving asylum."
Karaoğlu admitted in the broadcast that FETO was involved in the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, and that the instruction of Alsancak, who was in Türkiye at that time and was the secret imam of FETO members among the police, saying "Do not resist the coup plotters", which was also recorded in the court records, was real, and that he received the same order from a platform similar to WhatsApp.
Firari Karaoğlu used the following statements:
"We established a commission, everyone testified about the corruption and unlawfulness of the private imam, and a storm erupted. The commission was intervened, and it turned out that there were issues that were too disgusting to talk about, and everything that should not have been done was done. After July 15, it turned out that everything that we should not have stayed away from beyond reason was done."
He attracted attention with his luxurious life
Temel Alsancak, who is wanted with a red notice as the so-called security secret imam and fugitive suspect of FETO, lives in a luxury villa with a pool in the US state of Texas.
While it is known that Alsancak, who has been found to be in the USA for many years, continues his secret work on behalf of FETO here, this information is also expressed by confessors who are members of the organization who are against him.
While Alsancak previously had 3-4 companies and businesses in Texas that he opened and closed in his own name, it is stated that these were used as a front to obtain work and residence permits for his own men.
On social media, it seems that Alsancak, whose luxurious life is frequently criticized by the organization's base, has recently become the target of criticism from the members of the organization again, as he had air conditioning installed in his dog's kennel.
