Turkey renews charges for 2016 murder of Russian Ambassador
Turkey charged 28 people on Friday in relation to the 2016 assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Ankara, Andrey Karlov, naming the U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen as the prime suspect in the case, the state-owned Anadolu news agency said, according to the Moscow Times.
Authorities charged Fethullah Gülen and 27 others of attempting to "overthrow the constitutional order", "being a member of a terrorist organization" and of premeditated murder, Anadolu said.
Earlier it was reported that the investigation into the murder of Ambassador Karlov was closed.
The Russian Ambassador was killed on December 19, 2016 at an art gallery in Ankara.
