It was also reported that the State Security Service carried out an operation of their detention.
Despite such a high-profile case, neither the State Security Service nor the Ministry of Defense made an official announcement. Attempts to get a comment or even a confirmation from these agencies gave no results.
These agencies are very sensitive to critical and negative materials in the press, but this time they kept silent.-02D-
