Well, there are even more tons of "confessions" of the accused that "confess" NOT being part of the coup. I hope you'll give them the same weight as the opposite confessions.

Coup was not an act of a single group. Government is putting all the blame to one group, they were not the only one.
However this Doesn't mean that particular groups was not involved or took the initiative, I hope more will be revealed in time.

Claiming being not part of a coup is something else. I have yet to see a coup official claiming it was a fake or orchestrated by the government.

How does one achieve the official status of a "coup official"?

An army offical involved in coup? e.g. either gave orders to soldiers to participate, or did not take action against the coup when ordered so.

OK. So now we are limiting this to the army and leaving teachers and flight attendants out.
And all (or many) of those army officials allegedly involved in the coup attempt eagerly "confessed" their erroneous ways, while none of them denied being involved in a coup?

For instance by shooting four of your soldiers who refuse orders to participate in the coup. You should take a look at Bellingcat's coverage.

That's what I'm talking about. If there is evidence about person X doing some criminal deed (shoting soldiers) that in itself is sufficient for prosecuting him. You do not need his "confession" for that.
The problem is about prosecuting 99000 teachers, academics, and other "inconvenient" people, without much more than a hint that they do not like you or that they make fun of your similarity with Golum.
