He said the detainees were acting within the so-called "military and security structure."

"It was established that the suspects were involved in the organization's so-called 'secret military and security structure.' They communicated through payphones and had connections with key figures in the organization. Their names appeared in statements and identifications, and they had finalized prison sentences and were on wanted lists in connection with FETO investigations," the minister said.
