Atilla was brought before a judge and remanded yesterday - and, no, this is not old news, it happened yesterday - and the FBI submitted a 40-page report including tapped phone calls between Zerrab and Atilla dating back to 2013 in which they are discussing illegal transactions totalling hundreds of billions of dollars. We are talking about the deputy CEO of a Turkish state bank. I wish I had more time to follow up this story. Does anybody have any theories about what is behind this? For example, why did Trump sack District Attorney Preet Bharara who was working on the Zerrab case?
There is a news report here in Turkish about what went on in court yesterday here:

Trump asked for all the remaining 46 DA's appointed under Obama to resign. Preet Bhaharara refused and was sacked.

Nothing to do with the case itself, then. Thanks.

...the arrest of Attila is the new event, as i said; my comment was having read the whole article (Forbes) for more on the incident, nothing else but old news is included.

U.S. Embassies don't make mistakes often. Something off the topic in the same vain, i can never forget the Canadian delegation squirming and scowling in their chairs when Erdogan spoke so eloquently at the UN last year, it looked to me then that they knew something about his credibility, hard to contain what seemed anger towards him. There is a lot being said, today, as wiki leak showed us now years ago, not being said publicly.

...indeed, how media was used, to save democracy from the coup, so to speak, was masterful; especially coming from a man who was unable to do more than put penguins on TV when that power overwhelmed him at Gezi.

In my mind, a deal was made with Zarrab, Attilla has a role to play, he may see the alternative to prison in a Free country as a better choice, to what awaits a Turkey where perhaps the coup has only begun.

...also interesting, thanks (the last link (phone call) you provided).

Looks like Erdo is not flavour of the month in Washington.

reh charlui you dont understand what you is reading. not seeing him personally means he is allowed to continue with his actions at home. the stupid yanks will live to regret this sooner or later.

Sounds like you intend to invade the USA, do you think the mehmetcik are up to it alone or will they call for reinforcements from "trnc"

you still dont understand what you are reading. if erdogan continues with what he is doing, terggy will divide into three. the yanks will lose one of their strongest ally in the region you stupid charlui.

in any case mehmetcik already invaded america 20000 years ago long before the greaks even new they were humans. the native americans are terggish you stupid charlui.

What has Turkey done for the Americans as an allied lately? Americans do not need the Turks for anything. They just need a military base, which the Kurds will be more than happy to provide them with once Turkey is divided .

Americans need to suck Anatolian micro penis to facilitate their nuke installations.
T**key exists only because of the will of the major world powers.

It's difficult Kicks for Kurdistan.
For that to happen you would need a global unanimous Kurdish state recognition... seems like it's on the way, mind you, but it will take some time.

I reckon most American nuke installations around the world are duds.

It’s obvious from the fact that the number of nukes produced verses what has allegedly been installed, doesn’t even cover 25%!

I guess the idea is to keep the enemy guessing as to which are real and which decoys.

I very much doubt that the ones in volatile Turkey are real.

Mr. Atilla is to be sentenced on April 11. His lawyers have asked the judge, Richard M. Berman of Federal District Court, to “temper justice with mercy.” They argued that federal guidelines call for only four to five years in prison and that Mr. Atilla should serve “significantly below” that.

But prosecutors told the judge that at a time when the United States and other nations “were engaged in the momentous undertaking of depriving the government of Iran of funding for its malign and deadly activities” — including its pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, and its support of terrorism — “Atilla was a key player in massively undermining those efforts.”
