Former ambassador to Iran Yusuf Saloojee has been suspended from his position at the department of international relations and cooperation.

The person who leaked the MTN and Turkcell memos has to face the possibility of being implicated in the bribery of Iran government officials’ claims.

The department of international relations and cooperations says government can’t be bought but recent reports have contradicted this statement.

A lawsuit filed by Turkcell over a licence in Iran has implicated MTN executives and state officials in an explosive bribery and weapons scandal.
