The transcripts of wiretapped phone recordings from the probe into massive graft allegations have been recycled into notebooks for deputies, raising eyebrows in Turkey only days after parliament voted to clear all four ex-ministers implicated in the investigations.

Turkey's parliamentary inquiry commission on the graft allegations against four former ministers has turned to a public prosecutor to controversially destroy the primary evidence of the case. A secret ballot in the Parliament is expected to be held next week to ultimately determine the fate of the ex-ministers.

An investigative commission at Turkey?s Parliament saw no need for the trial of four former ministers of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Parti) over corruption allegations, thanks to the dominant votes of the AK Parti MPs at the commission on Jan. 5.
