A Turkish court has jailed the former head of the state media regulator and three others pending trial in an investigation into embezzlement at an Islamic charity, state-run Anatolian news agency said on Monday.
Police had detained Zahid Akman, former head of the RTUK state media regulator, and three senior executives of the Kanal 7 television channel on Wednesday. The Islamic charity is accused of embezzling donations and sending some of the funds, mainly from Turks living in Germany, to the pro-government media outlet, Kanal 7. (Reuters)
