Korkmaz Karaca has been accused by a Turkish mafia boss of being part of a group of high-ranking officials who sought bribes from major Turkish businesses
Adviser to the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan resigned yesterday, Tuesday, after being the target of corruption allegations by a Turkish mobster.
“This lynching, which reached my daughter and my wife, again became a threat to my health. For these reasons, I am resigning from my position,” he announced in a message on Twitter Korkmaz Karatzaa member of the Economic Council of the Turkish presidency and an executive of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which is led by Erdogan.
Karaca was indicted last weekend by the Turkish mob boss Sendat Pekerwho has fled to the United Arab Emirates, that he was part of a group of high-ranking Turkish officials who sought bribes from major Turkish businesses, which he denied.
Peker has been leaking in videos posted on Twitter and YouTube since last year accusations against high-ranking Turkish officials such as Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, embarrassing the government less than ten months before the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
Another Erdogan adviser who was targeted by the same accusations resigned from his post on Sunday.
Turkish opposition parties have called for an investigation into these allegations.
