Turkey halted the operations of Bank Asya, an Islamic lender linked to exiled preacher Fethullah Gulen, as the government widened a purge after a failed coup attempt this weekend.
The ruling came from Turkey’s Savings Deposit Insurance Fund and trading in the lender’s shares will remain suspended, according to a stock exchange statement Monday.
