ERZURUM, Turkey (AA) - A criminal high court in eastern Erzurum province sentenced the nephew of the U.S.-based Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) leader to six years and three months in prison, according to a judicial source Wednesday.

Huseyin Gulen, who was arrested four months after the July 15, 2016, defeated coup, was convicted on charges of using FETO’s encrypted messaging app ByLock and maintaining ties to the terrorist group.

The ByLock mobile app was also allegedly used by FETO members during 2016 defeated coup.

Also, the same court sentenced the niece of the FETO leader to seven years and six months in prison, according to the same source Wednesday.
