Update on Turkey's Basketball Honour and Taxes: A Judge Challenges the Prime Minister

After Turkey's appearance this week in the final of the 2010 World Basketball Championship, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan thanked the team with a 28 million TL ($18.7 million) cheque. (See earlier feature on EA.)

One person is not feeling so generous, however. Judge Sedat Vural has submitted his complaint letter to Ankara's 15th administrative court, calling for the suspension and cancellation of the cheque. Vural claims it violates the Constitution's equality principle.
