Probe launched into prosecutors for declaring assassination plot against Erdogan's daughter as 'fake'

[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's Supreme Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) has launched investigations into two prosecutors who declared as fake the story of an alleged liquidation plot against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
's daughter.

Following a lengthy investigation by the HSYK's Press Office, the HSYK announced probes into series of incidents that followed reports in dailies Aksam and Gunes of a purported plot against Sumeyye Erdogan, citing alleged private Twitter messages between then-Republican Peoples' Party (CHP) deputies Umut Oran, Akif Hamzacebi, and journalist Emre Uslu.

Oran and Hamzacebi robustly rejected the claims at the time and filed criminal complaints with the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which later appealed the case to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Press Crimes Bureau.

Prosecutor Huseyin Parlakkilic then filed four separate cases against the two newspapers, while prosecutor Mustafa Gökay filed also cases against the newspapers on charges of "slander."
