An adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan resigned yesterday, Tuesday, after was the target of corruption charges by Turkish mobster Sedat Peker.
“This lynching, which reached my daughter and my wife, has again become a threat to my health. For these reasons, I am resigning from my position,” Korkmaz Karaca, a member of the Economic Council of the Turkish presidency and executive of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which is led by Erdogan.
Karaca was accused last weekend by Turkish mobster Sedat Peker, who has fled to the United Arab Emirates, of being part of a group of high-ranking Turkish officials seeking 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.
