- Kılıçdaroğlu: Erdogan closed Khashoggi case in exchange of money.
According to the leader of the Turkish Republican People’s Party, Erdogan handed over the Khashoggi’s case to Riyadh in exchange for money.
Turkey’s decision to close the case of the perpetrators of Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination in absentia and extradite him to Saudi Arabia provoked a sharp reaction from the leader of the largest opposition party and rival of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
According to media sources, the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the main opposition party in Turkey, Kamal ,Kılıçdaroğlu has strongly criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for transferring the case of the perpetrators of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
According to the Turkish Minet website, the politician with 73 years of experience in Turkey, in his remarks, referred to Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s remarks in 2018 about the impossibility of transferring the case of the perpetrators of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Following the publication of reports on the Turkish government’s moves to improve its relations with Saudi Arabia, an Istanbul court ordered the suspension of the trial of Khashoggi’s killers in absentia and the transfer of the case to the Saudi courts.
Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist critical of Saudi Arabia and a columnist for the American newspaper Washington Post, was brutally murdered on October 2, 2018 inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and no trace of his body was ever found. His body was reportedly mutilated by an assassination team from Saudi Arabia.
Following the news of Khashoggi’s disappearance following his visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Riyadh officials initially claimed that the journalist had left the consulate after completing his work, but it was later revealed that the Saudis had tried to use the counterfeit.
