Ankara - Turkey's chief prosecutor on Wednesday launched an investigation into whether the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) had any links to a scandal in Germany where an Islamic charity siphoned off donations, CNN-Turk television reported. A court in Frankfurt in September jailed three managers of the Deniz Feneri (Lighthouse) charity after finding that donations given by German Turks worth some 14.5 million euros (18.5 million dollars) were siphoned off into private companies."
