Turkish Justice Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin said earlier this week he appointed two inspectors to investigate a number of complaints made against the prosecutors involved in the Ergenekon investigation, adding the necessary steps would be taken in accordance with the findings in the report, prepared by the inspectors.
In the controversial Ergenekon case, tens of people, including the two retired generals and anti-AKP journalists were arrested. The Ergenekon operation allegedly started to crackdown on an illegal organization accused of plotting a series of events that would pave the way for a military coup.
However the detainment of anti-government names in the operation created question marks about whether this operation was being used as a cover to suppress opponents of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
The indictment on the case, however, failed to shed light on the merits of this controversial and complex case.
A detainee's death just after his release also sparked harsh criticism across the country since the lack of a long waited indictment hastened the death of a previously healthy man.
