Turkish prosecutors have requested the lifting of parliamentary immunity for Özgür Özel, leader of the New Party, and Veli Ağbaba, a lawmaker. The request stems from allegations of bribery accepted during their time as senior members of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the main opposition party. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office initiated the move, according to reports from T24 news. Details regarding the extent and nature of the alleged bribes have not been fully disclosed. This development comes at a sensitive time for Turkish politics, with potential ramifications for the opposition. Lifting immunity would allow for prosecution and potential legal proceedings against Özel and Ağbaba. The case is likely to intensify political tensions within Turkey.
