Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH) President Bülent Yıldırım is being investigated for allegedly financing al-Qaeda through his organization, daily Habertürk has reported.
The probe, led by an Istanbul specially authorized prosecutor, accuses Yıldırım of providing financial aid to al-Qaeda via his foundation with absolute secrecy, reportedly without official numbering and identification.
A Diyarbakır specially authorized prosecutor has also been leading a similar case into Yıldırım, Habertürk reported.
Yıldırım was the İHHs head during the 2010 Mavi Marmara flotilla incident and recently mediated the release of two Turkish journalists kidnapped in Syria, as well as the release of 11 Iranians last February that were kidnapped by the Free Syrian Army.
The İHH is an Istanbul-based aid foundation.
