Mr. Gulen, who lived in self-imposed exile in the United States, was accused of plotting a failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey in 2016.

The reclusive cleric denied orchestrating the short-lived insurrection against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that brought tanks onto the streets.

Fethullah Gulen, who built a powerful Islamic movement in Turkey and beyond but spent his later years mired in accusations of orchestrating an attempted coup, has died.
