ISTANBUL, Dec 25: Turkey’s Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan resigned over a high-level corruption probe today, while describing it as a “dirty set-up” against the Government.
Caglayan’s son Salih Kaan Caglayan was among 24 people arrested on graft charges last week in a case centering on state-run lender Halkbank. Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan responded by purging police investigators involved. (AGENCIES)
