Turkish Protesters Enter The Streets As Corruption Probe Widens

Turkey is being shaken by a corruption scandal that has reached the inner circle of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).

The police and judiciary are also heavily involved, followed by angry citizens in various cities.

Social media gives an idea of what's bubbling. All signs point to much more turmoil as the corruption probe continues.

Protesters in Istanbul's Taksim Square are chanting: 'Everywhere bribery, corruption everywhere!'
