Thanks hava. I hadn't seen this before, but there looks to be a lot of conflicting and peculiar material out there about this.
From the Turkish Press, calling the guy Mossad:
Report: Mossad behind Ergenekon plot
Published: 11/30/2008
A report alleges that Israel's national intelligence agency, Mossad has been behind the Ergenekon plot to topple the Turkish government.
A secret investigation of detained Ergenekon group members and other studies outside Turkey indicate that Mossad orchestrated coups against the Turkish government, the Turkish daily Milliyet reported Sunday.
The Ergenekon group is a Turkish neo-nationalist organization with alleged links to the military, members of which have been arrested on charges of plotting to foment unrest in the country.
Investigators uncovered evidence that show a Jewish rabbi named Tuncay Guney, who worked for Mossad and fled to Canada in 2004, was a key figure behind attempts to overthrow the Turkish government, the paper said, Fars news reported.
A document uncovered this week by the Sabah daily shows how Guney deliberately infiltrated Ergenekon and another organization known as JITEM, an illegal intelligence unit linked with the police and suspected of hundreds of murders and kidnappings.
Meanwhile, a separate report by Turkish daily Yeni Safak has claimed that Turkish security forces have discovered documents in Guney's Istanbul house that disclose information concerning suspicious investment and economic activities by certain Jewish businessmen in Turkey.
The businessmen allegedly have significant relations with individuals, political groups and cultural organizations affiliated with the Ergenekon group.
Turkish security forces have detained many members of the Ergenekon group, including retired army generals, politicians, popular lawyers and famous journalists. The individuals currently face trail on charges of plotting to overthrow Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

From the Jewish community, saying the guy's Turkish intelligence:
Turkish community chief disowns ‘plotter rabbi’
From The Jewish Chronicle
Sami Kohen
November 20, 2008
The Jewish community in Turkey has warned that the case of a supposed convert to Judaism accused of being involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the government may stir antisemitic feeling.
Tuncay Guney, 36, left Turkey in 2004 and emigrated to Canada, where he reportedly adopted the Jewish faith and became a "rabbi" in Toronto.
Mr Guney is charged with being part of a secret nationalist organisation planning to topple the present regime. More than 40 suspects, including retired generals and bureaucrats, are in custody and are now on trial in Istanbul. Mr Guney, being out of the country, will be tried in absentia.
What concerns the Jews here is the sudden appearance of Mr Guney as a rabbi. His picture showing him with a beard and an apparently Charedi outfit has been widely published in the Turkish media and been described as the "Haham" (Jewish sage).
Mr Guney is an obscure and controversial figure, who is said to have had connections with the Turkish and foreign intelligence services. The indictment on the case regarding the projected coup cites him as one of the key figures in the conspiracy.
From Canada, Mr Guney said in interviews with several Turkish television channels that he was working as a rabbi at the Beith Jacob synagogue in Toronto.
He claimed that he was born Jewish, because he was a Sabbetist, a descendent of the Jews in the Ottoman Empire who followed the false Messiah Sabbetai Sevi and converted to Islam in the 17th century.
Turkish Jews have been concerned with the huge publicity that Mr Guney has been receiving in the country's media.
The leader of the Jewish community, Silvio Ovadia, expressed this anxiety at a press conference during which he stressed that the publicity portraying a person accused of conspiracy against the regime as a Jewish convert and a rabbi was provoking anti-Jewish feelings.
Mr Ovadia reported that the Jewish community had made inquiries in Toronto and found no sign of Mr Guney being a rabbi at the Beith Jacob synagogue.
He also said that Mr Guney had no connection whatsoever with the Jewish community in Turkey.

And whoa - this should cause Riginters who've studied neo-Nazi mysticism to take notice:
NEW SURPRISE FROM PROSECUTOR: AGARTA
According to the indictment of the Ergenekon probe,
the alleged criminal network Ergenekon is a sect-like organization based on the 600-year legend of Agarta.
Some sources describe Agarta as the legendary underground city in Tibet where information about world's history, the oldest faiths and cosmic teachings was kept in hidden archives. Other sources depict Agarta as an organization established by monks from the lost island Atlantis who were waiting for the day when they would return to the surface of the earth from their underground sacred cities.

I don't know what is going on, but there's obviously a lot here to unpack!
