The duty locations of 110 judges and prosecutors were changed by Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor İbrahim Ethem Kuriş over the weekend.
Some prosecutors who handled major or controversial cases were appointed to more passive duties, while the Justice Ministry’s inspectors were appointed to key posts.
Eight chief public prosecutors, including chief inspectors, inspectors and judges of the ministry, have been appointed to key posts handling critical investigations on smuggling, fraud, financial crimes, employee crimes and the press.
The appointments were made by Kuriş, whose own seat remained empty between August and November because of a conflict between the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors, or HSYK’s, members from the judiciary and the Justice Ministry over the appointments of judges and prosecutors in August.
The HSYK’s members from the judiciary opposed the appointments of some judges and prosecutors to certain positions, alleging that the ministry wanted to appoint supporters to several critical positions. The board was re-formed with an expanded membership and the mass resignation of many incumbent members in October.
Kuriş was appointed Ankara chief public prosecutor in November by the reconfigured HSYK.
