A court in Istanbul on Friday ordered the arrest of Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya, a former minister and deputy chair of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party, AKP, over her alleged role in a major stock market financial fraud. The Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office accused Kaya of “being a member of an organised crime group and violating stock market law”. Her husband, Ilyas Kaya, and a former chair of the Capital Markets Board, Ibrahim Omer Gonul, were given a travel ban but not arrested.
