Erdogan kan prima opschieten met financier Al Qaeda

A number of new snapshots from a video surveillance camera were leaked on Friday in a Turkish daily, documenting secret meetings attended by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, Yasin al-Qadi -- a Saudi businessman who is on the US Treasury Department's “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” (SDGT) list -- and Turkish intelligence chief Hakan Fidan.

The photos, published by the Kar?? daily, were reportedly leaked from a corruption investigation which had been stifled since Dec. 25, 2013 by the Erdo?an government. The meetings featured in the photos are alleged to have taken place on April 14, 2012, when, according to a Cabinet decision, al-Qadi was forbidden from entering Turkey. This was also before the UN had removed his name from its list of supporters of the terrorist al-Qaeda network. Kar?? reports that the meeting took place in the Haliç Congress Center in ?stanbul.
