Erdoğan summons MIT Chief Kalın and Justice Minister Tunç to the 'Palace'

Searches were conducted at the homes of 3 police officers who were mentioned in the investigation into the Ayhan Bora Kaplan criminal organization and were suspended by the Ministry of Interior.

Following this development, MHP Chairman Bahçeli stated in a press release that this situation was a conspiracy that could not be brushed off by suspending a few police chiefs, and commented: "If we bow down to those planning a repeat of the 17-25 December police and judiciary-backed coup attempt, may we be disgraced."

According to the claim by Sabah Newspaper News Coordinator Abdurrahman Şimşek, following these remarks by Bahçeli, AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan met with Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç and MIT Chief İbrahim Kalın at the Presidential Palace in the evening, and it was decided to take important steps regarding the matter.
