Episode description

The latest chapter in a nearly year-long crackdown on the main opposition is unfolding in Turkey, where it seems Turkish President Erdogan is using the courts to effectively neuter the opposition.

Thanos Davelis breaks these questions down today with Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo.
