A notorious Mafia boss, Mr Ayhan Bora Kaplan, currfenly  on trial for a serious of felonies from  murder to drug smuggling, has also become a focus of the tag-of-war between AKP and MHP.  Known for his alleged close ties to former Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu, Kaplan’s arrest has exposed a deep-rooted web of corruption, collusion, and power abuse across Turkey’s judiciary, law enforcement and political circles.

In a sense, the question of whether  Erodgna wants to get rid of ally Devlet Bahceli can be redcue to two criminal cases:  Ayhan Bora  Kaplan and the assasination of young nationalist politician Sinan Ates.  If Erdogan directs his Interior Minister, Mr Ali Yerlikaya, and the submissive judicidary to prosecu these cases without prejudice or favor, MHP  is almost certain to be implicated; giving Erdogan the  perfetc cover to end the alliance.
