Amid corruption inquiry, Turkish prosecutor slams police (CNN, Dec 27, 2013)
http://cnn.it/1eeNnGT
"A Turkish prosecutor has openly accused police of interfering with a high-level corruption investigation. "Court orders have not been carried out and there has been open pressure on the judicial process from both the chief prosecutor's office and from the police force, which is supposed to carry out the decisions of the courts," Muammer Akkas said in a Thursday statement. He spoke one day after three Cabinet ministers resigned their posts, after their sons were arrested or temporarily detained in an anti-graft sting, semiofficial news agency Anadolu reported ... Instead, an apparent deadlock within the judiciary emerged as Akkas, the prosecutor, issued his statement saying the judiciary was under the heel of the government. Akkas accused police and prosecutors of ignoring a decision of the courts by refusing to carry out more raids..."

"The FBI has raided a charter school in Louisiana which allegedly has ties to the controversial movement of Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric living in self-imposed exile in the US. During the visit at the Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter school in Baton Rouge, federal agents seized several boxes from the campus but they refused to reveal the reasons behind the raid. It is not the first time that the FBI has put the spotlight on the charter schools, which are funded by American taxpayers. In 2011, the agency was investigating whether employees of charter schools linked to the movement were kicking back part of the salary to Hizmet, a Muslim movement funded by Gulen in Turkey..."
