The Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) has permitted an investigation of Erkan Canak – a former judge presiding over the case of the assassination of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink – for allegations of corruption and bribery, Today’s Zaman reported.
Canak, former judge of the Istanbul 14th High Criminal Court, who now presides over a court in Sakarya, will be tried at the 5th Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Appeals in Istanbul. If the court finds him guilty, Canak will be forced to resign. Canak is accused of “acting in a way that has shaken the trust and respect required by his position, engaging in corruption and taking bribes,” according to the HSYK.
