Turkey's National Intelligence Organisation MIT detained seven people accused of passing sensitive information on civil society groups, associations, ethnic groups and public officials to two foreign intelligence services, according to TRT Haber. The suspects were taken into custody for processing.
The operation was conducted as part of MIT's tracking of suspect intelligence flows directed at domestic security. The agency said the information transfers involved two distinct foreign services, and that the documents being relayed had been monitored over an extended period.
MIT has announced several counter-intelligence operations in recent months targeting alleged foreign efforts to gather information on Turkish civic structures. Friday's announcement underscores that the agency's counter-intelligence work is continuing, and a judicial process is set to follow.
