Flynn had for the extradition of gülen’s pronounced
Flynn is accused in a separate process. There, he has given to the judicial authorities, gives false information to its cooperation with the Turkish government. The Turkish government makes Gülen for the coup attempt of July 2016 responsible and calls for his extradition.
Flynn – in the new procedure as “Person A” had founded jointly with Rafiekian a company called “Flynn Intel Group”. The company received for the three-month project for Turkey, according to information from the judicial authorities of 530,000 dollars (about 467.000 Euro). In the new indictment, it says that the objective was a “conspiracy” to influence U.S. politicians and public opinion against Gülen, with the aim to achieve its delivery.
The judicial authorities, Alptekin have kept Turkish government representative on the project to date and their instructions to Rafiekian and Flynn submitted. The Budget for the project had been decided by the Turkish government representatives to “Cabinet level”. Alptekin is said to have concealed the payments with your own company.
Flynn had on 8. November 2016 – the day of the U.S. presidential election – a post on the news site “The Hill” published, in which he objected vehemently for a extradition of gülen’s.

On Tuesday is to be announced in Washington the penalty. Due to the cooperation of Flynn’s has spoken out Mueller for custody exemption.
Turkey attacks hard against Gülen members
representatives of the Gülen-informed movement in the United States, the new indictment does not show that the government is afraid of Erdogan’s before that, back to break US laws. This is not surprising, because Erdogan’s government had set the rule of law in Turkey. We expect and hope that the Turkish efforts for the extradition of gülen’s remained inconclusive.
Rafiekian (66) lives in California. Alptekin (41) holds, according to the indictment, in Istanbul and along the Turkish and Dutch citizenship. The two are accused of conspiracy and illegal agent activity for the Turkish government. Alptekin is also accused of the four times a false statement to the Federal police FBI.
