Golge’s lawyers earlier told media that Turkish police had asked the scientist, during the detention, to serve as a Turkish agent in the US.
“They asked my client during all six interrogations to tell them what he knew, and my client said he didn’t know anything. Then they told him ‘Work for us’,” said the lawyer.
