The trial of more than 40 Turkish soldiers accused of attempting to assassinate President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the July 2016 failed coup attempt started on Feb. 20. Under tight security, the defendants were bussed in to a courthouse in Mugla, not far from the resort where Erdogan and his family narrowly escaped the soldiers in a helicopter. Forty-four suspects, mainly soldiers, are under arrest, while three others still on the run are being tried in absentia.
