| Subject: Bingo! Fugitive general arrested at hospital in Turkey Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:38 pm | |
| A fugitive former Turkish general charged with participating in a plot to overthrow the government has been arrested at an Ankara hospital, police said.
Retired Brig. Gen. Levent Ersoz vanished last July, just before a roundup of suspects in the Ergenekon group, Today's Zaman reported. He was believed to have gone to Moscow.
Police said they got a tip that Ersoz had been admitted to a hospital under an assumed name for emergency prostate surgery. They picked him up Thursday morning and also arrested his nephew and a non-commissioned officer who had accompanied him to the hospital.
Ersoz had disguised his appearance by growing a beard and wearing glasses, investigators said. He was taken to a police station for questioning.
