Celal Kara who started Dec 17 probe, shares revelations in interview with journailst Nazli Ilicak

Efforts to present the December 17 graft probe as a “coup”attempt requires an accusation of police officers, judges or prosecutors who were involved in the case. And to that end they have freely abused figures whom we thought to be respectable people until recently.

A prominent name in the December 17 graft probe wasProsecutor Celal Kara. In a way no democratic country would allow, he was “severed” from the case by Hadi Salihoğlu, who was appointed Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor instead of Turan Çolakkadı. And the newly elected Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) suspended him from office.

Sure enough, the TVs go on with salvos against Celal Kara. I collected the allegations about him. I talked to him; here is my account:

Former minister: They're committing a crime by fabricating evidence

Former Justice Minister Hikmet Sami Türk, who is a law professor and former Cabinet minister, says that the government created a myth of a parallel state to cover up massive corruption allegations. Türk also criticized the presidential system proposal that the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) wants to implement, stating that the model would weaken the separation of powers in the country since it aims to give the president the power to create and implement laws.
