The case of four former Turkish ministers who resigned over a 2013 graft scandal that shook the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will not be sent to trial, a parliamentary commission ruled Monday.
The commission, dominated by MPs from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), ruled against sending the cases to the Supreme Council court, its chairman Hakki Koylu said on national television. Nine members voted against sending the cases with only five in favour, he added.
