The Ergenekon group is a Turkish neo-nationalist organization with
alleged links to the military, members of which have been arrested on
charges of plotting to foment unrest in the country.
Investigators uncovered evidence that show a Jewish rabbi named
Tuncay Guney, who worked for Mossad and fled to Canada in 2004, was a
key figure behind attempts to overthrow the Turkish government.
A document uncovered this week by the Sabah daily shows how
Guney purposefully infiltrated Ergenekon and another organization
known as JITEM, an illegal intelligence unit in the gendarmerie
suspected of hundreds of murders and kidnappings.
The rabbi was taken out of Turkey and sent to the US for
protection after his identity was exposed in an investigation by
Turkish police, according to Sabah.
Guney is also reported to have links with Israeli espionage
activities in Egypt. According to Egyptian security forces, at least
one of three suspects currently being pursued by the Egyptian
government for spying was in contact with Tuncay Guney.
Meanwhile, a separate report by Turkish daily Yeni Safak
has claimed that Turkish security forces have discovered some bags in
Guney's Istanbul house that include the Israeli flag and Mossad's
slogan.
According to an earlier report by Aksam another Turkish
daily, Mossad has been involved in several ambiguous events in
Turkey.
The report claimed that Turkish security forces have discovered
documents that disclose information concerning suspicious investment
and economic activities by certain Jewish businessmen in Turkey.
The Jewish businessmen are alleged to have had significant
relations with individuals, political groups and cultural
organizations, which investigations show are affiliated to the
Ergenekon group.
Turkish security forces have detained many members of the
Ergenekon group, including retired army generals, politicians,
popular lawyers and famous journalists. The individuals currently
face trail on charges of plotting to overthrow Turkish Prime
Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
