Prime Minister Wiretapped — Vast Corruption Upending Turkey's Government
Found on Slashdot on Wednesday, 25 December 2013
Dawn raids last Tuesday nabbed almost 60 people and implicated three government ministries, the directors of state banks, and some of Turkey's most powerful businessmen in a massive corruption probe spread across three different cases. Three members of Turkey's cabinet resigned on Christmas Day, and one called on Erdogan to follow suit as accusations of kickbacks, smuggling, and abuse of office continue to mount.
In other countries it's probably not too different either.
