Top Turkish judge probed over possible links to Ergenekon case

The court said "the legal process was started" on Constitutional Court deputy chairman Osman Paksut, whose wife is currently standing trial in the controversial Ergenekon case.  Â

"That is also what I wanted. (The truth) will be revealed," Paksut was quoted by the state-run Anatolian Agency as saying.

The Ergenekon case, launched in 2007, was filed against more than 200 people on the charge of forming an illegal organization to provoke a series of events that would pave the way for a military coup.

The controversial case, however, has divided Turkey, as many believe it has turned into a witch hunt targeting government critics.
