Reuters appeals Turkish court order to remove news article

Reuters said on Monday it has
appealed a Turkish court order to remove a news article on the
agency’s website that said U.S. and Swedish prosecutors are
studying a graft complaint naming a son of President Tayyip
Erdogan.
In the court ruling, a copy of which was seen by Reuters,
the news agency was given seven days to submit an objection.
A Reuters special report published on June 26 said
anti-corruption authorities in the United States and Sweden are
reviewing a complaint alleging that the Swedish affiliate of a
U.S. company pledged to pay tens of millions of dollars in
kickbacks if Erdogan’s son helped it secure a dominant market
position in the country.
U.S. and Swedish authorities have initiated preliminary
probes, the report said.
Ultimately, no kickbacks were paid, according to the
complaint submitted to authorities by an individual and reviewed
by Reuters.
