Photo of allegedly kidnapped FETO terror group leader Gulen surfaces online

A photograph of Fethullah Gulen, the ringleader of the terrorist organization FETO, circulated on social media Wednesday, indicating a decline in his health.

Gulen, who is rumored to have been kidnapped by members of the organization in the U.S. and is frequently mentioned because of his illness, appears visibly fatigued in the newly released image.

A day earlier, a column and various social media posts alleged Gulen had been brought to Türkiye.

However, security sources have refuted these claims, clarifying that the reports circulating on social media and websites about Gulen’s relocation to Türkiye are false.

There have also been claims that Gulen, who resides in a luxury mansion in Pennsylvania, U.S., had recently been relocated. Gulen’s nephew suggested in a statement that the FETO leader might have been kidnapped.
