Abu Dhabi: According to the Office of the Attorney-General of the United Arab Emirates, the Attorney-General spoke with his Turkish counterpart over the phone, and the General Prosecutor of the Republic of Turkiye stated that his nation is prepared to improve channels of communication and strengthen judicial cooperation. The Republic of Turkiye’s General Prosecutor has denied reports that were making the rounds in several media sources regarding the discovery of illegal espionage operations in Istanbul and the attribution of such accusations to the UAE.
The General Prosecutor affirmed that these accusations are wholly untrue after speaking with the appropriate Turkish authorities, including the Office of the Istanbul Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor. The Turkish Attorney General claims that the Turkish Public Prosecution has confirmed that neither the United Arab Emirates nor its citizens have engaged in any illegal or questionable behavior.
