The Istanbul Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation against journalist Erdan Zenturk on charges of insulting the president. The event was his comment on the scandal surrounding the Bursa Istanbul investment fund: Zenturk announced the largest distribution of wealth in Turkey in history and that the concentration of such funds in one hand is impossible without the approval of the state. The publication notes that Zenturk is not an opposition journalist - he is a former war correspondent, covers international events and positively evaluates Ankara's actions.
