A department working under the prime ministry has been wiretapped by two spies, allegedly with links to Iranian intelligence, according to a report published in daily Türkiye.
The daily claimed that the two female founders of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) were involved in the wiretapping. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ today confirmed the illegal wiretapping, but denied reports that the suspects were among the founders of the party.

“A criminal complaint was filed about a year ago over a wiretapping in the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities office. The investigation is ongoing. We do not know the details of the investigation. However, the report about AKP founders’ involvement in wiretapping is a complete lie,” Bozdağ said today.

After several “bugs” were found in the office of the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) eight months ago, the Ankara police department launched an investigation to find the receivers where the bugged recordings were transmitted to.

 The investigation showed that two women, who were both part of the group that founded the AKP and still provided support to the party, had installed the wiretapping devices.

 A further investigation by the Ankara Public Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the mobile phone numbers of two women were registered under the name of an Iranian citizen, with whom the two women had occasionally been meeting.More here.
