Enes Kanter’s father, Dr. Mehmet Kanter, was indicted by a Turkish court on Monday on charges of “membership in a terrorist group” according to the country’s official news agency, Anadolu Agency.
The indictment reportedly comes after an investigation into Dr. Kanter and he could face a prison term of five to 10 years at trial. Anadolu said that the indictment alleges that Dr. Kanter contacted 120 suspects with links to Cleric Fethullah Gulen, who the government accused of masterminding an attempted military coup in 2016. There is no timetable on when the trial would begin.
