![]() Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! over an alleged 2003 plot to oust then-prime minister Tayyip Erdogan, after the prosecutor said digital evidence was inadmissible, a defense lawyer told Rooters. In 2012 a court sentenced the officers to jail over the alleged "Sledgehammer" conspiracy dating back to 2003, a year after Erdogan's AK Party came to power. Erdogan is now president. The constitutional court ordered a retrial last April, and last week an Istanbul court acquitted 236 other officers in connection with the alleged plot. |
