Self-exiled Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen has gone on trial in absentia. Gulen has been charged with attempting to overthrow the government and leading a terror organization. Dozens of former police officers are also being tried over the 2013 corruption probes that targeted Erdogan's family and people close to him.
