Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi shared details of the operation against the Süleymancılar group in his statements in Diyarbakır. Minister Çiftçi emphasized that the operation directly targeted the top leadership, and revealed that the structure used a secret software similar to FETÖ's ByLock system.
Minister of Interior Mustafa Çiftçi, during a press conference held during his visit to the AK Party Provincial Directorate in Diyarbakır, shared details of the operation carried out against the criminal organization for profit led by Alihan Kuriş with the public.
"THE TARGET IS NOT THE RELIGIOUS SEGMENT, BUT THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP MANAGEMENT
Stating that the operation carried out did not cover large masses and directly targeted the top level of the structure, Minister Çiftçi emphasized that during the AK Party governments, religious and conservative segments were never targeted. Çiftçi stressed that sincere believing citizens and the top management, who turned the structure into a profit organization for their own interests, must be meticulously distinguished from one another.
SECRET COMMUNICATION NETWORK SIMILAR TO FETÖ'S BYLOCK: BLOOPER
Also touching on the technical details of the operation, the Minister of Interior announced that the organization's management used a special software named "Blooper" to ensure communication among themselves. It was determined that access to this system, which functioned as a secret communication network just like FETÖ's ByLock application, could only be gained after passing a three-stage security verification.
PLAN TO MOVE THE CENTER TO GERMANY
Minister Çiftçi also presented striking information about the structure's overseas organization and future steps. Stating that the organization had built a new headquarters building in Cologne, Germany, at a cost of 70 million euros, Çiftçi expressed that it was planned to move the activities to this new center.
