Paris’ten İstanbul’a: Siyasi gücün parayla imtihanı

From Paris to Istanbul: The test of political power against money.

While a French court debated whether former minister Rachida Dati's €900,000 payment from Renault-Nissan was compensation for her political influence, in Turkey, a fund embezzlement scandal, described as one of the biggest robberies in the history of the Republic, erupted, involving numerous individuals within the AKP and state bureaucracy.

Fransa’da eski bakan Rachida Dati’nin Renault-Nissan’dan aldığı 900 bin avronun siyasi nüfuzunun karşılığı olup olmadığı mahkemede tartışılırken, Türkiye’de Cumhuriyet tarihinin en büyük soygunlarından biri olarak adlandırılan, AKP ve devlet bürokrasisi içerisinde çok sayıda kişinin adının geçtiği bir fon vurgunu patladı.

The common question in these two legally distinct cases boils down to the same thing: Who regulates the boundary between political position and private economic gain, and how?

Hukuken birbirinden farklı iki dosyanın ortak sorusu ise aynı yerde düğümleniyor: Siyasi konum ile özel ekonomik kazanç arasındaki sınırı kim, nasıl denetliyor?
