The 6,000 Spies: How Turkey Built an Army Inside Germany

A covert army of roughly 6,000 informants allegedly operated inside Germany, targeting supporters of Fethullah Gülen with lists, addresses and armed operatives - and some of the watched were asylum seekers whose locations were supposedly relayed from within German institutions. How did an intelligence network grow so large on foreign soil, and who inside Germany knew about it?
In this episode, we lay out the chronology and scope of the surveillance network found by German authorities, from the 19th-century German-Ottoman ties and the 1961 guest-worker migration to the post-2016 purge that expanded Turkish intelligence activity in Germany. We trace the evidence that raised parliamentary alarm and ask what it means for communities and state trust.
Person: Fethullah Gülen
Organization: Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı (MIT)
Date: October 2021 (arrest related event)
Population: ~2.1 million people of Turkish origin living in Germany
Alleged informant count: approximately 6,000
- A man arrested in Düsseldorf in October 2021 carried a handwritten list identifying Gülen supporters in Germany.
- German parliamentary records cited approximately 6,000 MIT informants operating in Germany.
- Germany hosted roughly 2.1 million people of Turkish origin by the time the surveillance story reached parliamentary debate.
- After the July 2016 coup attempt in Turkey, tens of thousands were purged inside Turkey, fueling overseas targeting of Gülen supporters.
- Press reports alleged that German immigration offices had provided physical addresses of asylum seekers to Ankara.
