(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) A Turkish court has issued arrest warrants for a former military commander, a former chief public prosecutor and three prosecutors for allegedly violating the national security law when they stopped a MIT trucks in 2014.

The second high criminal court in the south-central city of Tarsus issued the arrest warrants Wednesday against Adana's former provincial gendarmerie commander Ozkan Cokay, former chief public prosecutor Suleyman Bagriyanik, and prosecutors Ozcan Sisman, Aziz Takci and Ahmet Karaca in the probe involving the pull-over and search of Turkish intelligence agency, or MIT trucks en route to Syria in January 2014.

The MIT trucks were stopped in the southern provinces of Adana and Hatay by local gendarmerie teams on the alleged grounds that they were loaded with ammunition, despite a national security law forbidding such an act.

Turkey's Interior Ministry said at the time the trucks, which were allegedly carrying arms into the north of Syria, were in reality conveying humanitarian aid to the Turkmen community in Syria.

The four prosecutors, who were involved in the pull-over and search of the MIT trucks, had later been removed from their posts pending an inquiry.
