Turkey to investigate contractors after buildings collapse in quake

A Turkish developer was arrested while trying to flee the country alongside two colleagues connected to a luxurious apartment tower that crumbled in Monday’s disastrous quake.

Turkish officials have responded to the outrage by announcing a rapid series of investigations and arrests linked to the construction and development business.

Three people were put behind bars by Sunday and seven more have been detained — including two developers who were trying to relocate to the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
