While FETO presented the process of its members who went through legal processes and lived illegally in gaybubet houses after the July 15 coup attempt as a 'test', the comfortable life of the high-ranking members of the organization abroad was revealed.
According to information received from security sources; FETO has gradually smuggled its senior executives abroad since 2014. Western countries were the primary choices of organization managers for their comfortable lives. The permanent residence permits obtained by the organization's executive staff and their families in a short time, their comfortable lifestyles, flashy weddings, villas, and the fact that they changed their names while traveling to different countries have come to the fore many times.
The upper levels of FETO presented the legal processes, prison sentences and hiding in the houses of absence of the members they left behind after July 15 as a 'test'. Members of the organization who stayed behind and lived illegally lost their loyalty in the face of this discrimination. Organization managers continued to live this comfortable life.
In the USA, organization managers, secret units managers, families of civilian imams involved in the July 15 coup attempt, and high-ranking former soldiers reached their current living standards with the financing of the organization. Fugitive Barbaros Kocakurt, who is tried in the FETO umbrella indictment and is on the executive committee of the organization, and fugitive İsmail Büyükçelebi, who is tried in the same case, live with his family in New Jersey, USA. The house in New Jersey, where the family of Adil Öksüz, the key figure of the failed coup attempt of July 15, lived, was also bought by FETO's management with the money of the organization. The family of Hakan Çiçek, one of the civilian imams of the coup, is among those who survive from the organization's coffers in the USA. The organization finances the family of coup plotter Hakan Çiçek, including the children's school and education expenses.
FETO's secret managers carry out various commercial activities in the USA with the financing of the organization. They operate in various fields, from IT companies to furniture and food businesses. Names such as Temel Alsancak, Osman Hilmi Özdil, Hamza Sevinç, Özcan Aytuluner, İsmail Kokuroğlu, high-ranking private imams living in the USA, lead bourgeois lives with the companies they founded. These names, who hide the companies they founded with the financing of FETO, continue their prosperous lives.
FETO's executives living in the USA also receive salaries from the organization. The maximum salary amount is 10 thousand dollars and the minimum salary is 2 thousand 500 dollars. The salary amount varies depending on the level. Among those receiving the highest salaries are the 12 members of the Executive Board of the organization, called the secretariat, and some members of the 40-person Advisory Board.
