ANKARA: A Turkish court on Wednesday sentenced four former soldiers to life in jail for their roles in a failed 2016 bid to oust President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, state news agency Anadolu reported.
They were jailed as part of a trial of 497 suspects in Ankara looking into the presidential guard’s actions during the coup attempt, which included a raid on the state broadcaster.
