Turkey’s National Intelligence Agency (MİT) had already launched a massive investigation into alleged wiretapping devices found in Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Ankara office before the premier publicized the discovery on December 22, official sources confirmed yesterday.
The spy agency reportedly first learned in February that Erdoğan was being listened to.
“This is not a recent event. MİT was informed of the bugs before the incident was revealed and an investigation was already launched into it. This was a secret that was being kept until Erdoğan himself announced in a television interview that he had been listened to,” a source speaking on condition of anonymity told the Hürriyet Daily News yesterday.
