Türkbank privatization scandal
The attempted privatization of Türkbank became embroiled in a political and organized-crime controversy. Leaked conversations involving prospective buyer Korkmaz Yiğit and mafia figure Alaattin Çakıcı became central to the affair. The privatization failed, and the political fallout contributed to the collapse of Mesut Yılmaz's government.
