ISTANBUL — One of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s economic advisers has quit following fresh corruption claims from an exiled crime boss who was once close to government circles.
Korkmaz Karaca, a member of the Presidential Economic Policy Board, announced his resignation on Tuesday evening, days after mafia leader Sedat Peker made a series of new allegations about bribery scams carried out by senior figures within the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
