Turkish authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of former football star and legislator Hakan Sukur over his links to a US-based Muslim cleric accused by Turkey of masterminding last month's failed coup, reports said.
The state-run Anadolu news agency said the arrest warrant accused Sukur of 'membership in an armed terror organisation'.
His father Selmet Sukur was detained in the north-western province of Sakarya on Friday, hours after a warrant was also issued against him, the agency reported. A court has ordered that both men's assets in Turkey be seized, Anadolu said.
Sukur is Turkey's leading goal-scorer in international competition, with 51 goals in 112 appearances over 15 years.
