ISTANBUL - Doğan News Agency
Prosecutor Murat İnam has been assigned to the Ergenekon coup plot
case and the murder case of Armenian-Turkish journalist Hrant Dink,
after prosecutor Muammer Akkaş was removed from the cases in a judicial
purge last month.
İnam has received all the case files that Akkaş had been dealing with
in Istanbul, including the Ergenekon case and Hrant Dink's murder case.
Akkaş had wanted to open a second wave of corruption probes right
after the initial one that shook the agenda on Dec. 17, 2013. He was
prevented as the new Istanbul Police Chief Selami Altınok refused to
implement the prosecutor's orders to carry out the arrests.
Akkaş was later assigned to the Tekirdağ Chief Prosecutor's office
with a decision of Turkey's Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors
(HSYK) on Jan. 16.
