Ala said that there have been massive purchases of dollars before the graft operation was commenced and that he has documents showing these activities.

Hurriyet highlighted on their frontpage Erdogan’s remarks on the corruption issue, saying “I would not let go off anyone, even if it was my son.” The statement comes amid the graft case on the government.
