Turkish authorities have taken a former minister and deputy chair of the ruling party into custody as part of an escalating investigation into share-price manipulation across multiple investment funds. The high-profile arrest follows her resignation from the ruling Justice and Development Party after allegations surfaced that she sold shares worth tens of millions of dollars shortly before regulators initiated the liquidation of the affected funds. According to state-run media reports, she faces potential trial proceedings on charges including membership in a criminal organization and violations of the country's Capital Markets Law. Her husband was also questioned by authorities and subsequently released under judicial supervision requiring regular police reporting. The main opposition party has leveled serious accusations against the former official, claiming she reaped massive returns after an initial investment in one of the disputed funds. While the couple has firmly denied any wrongdoing, media reports indicate they have transferred a portion of the questioned profits into an account designated by banking regulators. The wider judicial probe continues to widen, with the Justice Minister confirming that more than four hundred individuals are currently under investigation for suspected market manipulation and insider trading, resulting in numerous arrests as the scandal unfolds across the nation's political and financial circles.
