Yıldırım’s chief advisor Birol Erdem, who was a justice ministry undersecretary previously, and his wife Gülümser Erdem were detained early on June 3 in Ankara as part of an investigation carried out by Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Erdem testified as witness as part of an investigation launched for the followers of the U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen last year.
