Due process rights in Turkey for preventive measures in criminal investigations: keeping up with the latest amendments | Practical Law
The corruption investigations that took place in 2013 against prominent Turkish businessmen and political figures have revealed the extent of corrupt practices in the country and caused a major scandal, shaking the criminal justice system. The leak of information concerning suspects in that investigation has prompted substantial amendments to legislation on corporate crimes preventive measures (including searches, appointments of a trustee to manage a company, inspection of telecommunications and confiscation), to eliminate judicial discretion and reinforce suspects' due process rights.
