Criminal cases against 11 of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s security guards in the US have reportedly been dropped, Hurriyet reprots.
According to the source, criminal proceedings against seven of Erdoğan’s 15 guards were withdrawn just before former US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit to Ankara on February 15.
Criminal cases against four other Turkish presidential security guards are still ongoing, U.S. media reported on March 22.
To remind, during Erdoğan’s visit to the US capital Washington on May 17, 2017 security guards were caught on film attacking protesters in front of the Turkish Embassy.
