[PULSE.NG] The Justice Department charged Bijan Rafiekian, aka Bijan Kian, 66, of San Juan Capistrano, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, and Kamil Ekim Alptekin, 41, of Istanbul, with acting as unregistered agents of the Ottoman Turkish government and lying to the FBI over the 2016 scheme.
According to the indictment, Rafiekian and Alptekin made arrangements for the Flynn Intel Group to be indirectly paid $600,000 by the Ottoman Turkish government to help turn US public and political sentiment against exiled Gulen.
The plan was developed at the height of the 2016 election campaign when Flynn was advising then-candidate Trump on foreign and security policy.
The goal, the Justice Department said, was to obtain Gulen's extradition back to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

had accused him of orchestrating the July 2016 coup attempt.
The deal with Flynn was approved at top levels of the Ottoman Turkish government, the indictment said, with Alptekin keeping senior ministers apprised of its progress.
The indictment came one day ahead of the planned sentencing of Flynn, who was tossed in the clink

last year over his secret dealings with Russian officials and Turkey.
Flynn admitted one count of lying to the FBI in a plea deal which led to him providing "substantial" information to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 election.
Flynn's work with the Turks has been known since last year, when the Wall Street Journal reported that he, Rafiekian and Alptekin met Erdogan's son-in-law Berat Albayrak
