A few months after a violent earthquake, anger is rising in Turkey. The fragility of the constructions is pointed out. Some question the real estate amnesty, a privilege created by the Erdogan government.

Even in the evening by torchlight, investigators from the prosecutor’s office continue to make their way through the rubble. They try to find what remains of the foundations to collect evidence. “These samples will be analyzed”, says an investigator. Another engages: “We will find out if the concrete was strong enough to withstand the shock.” In Türkiye, the hunt for unscrupulous entrepreneurs has begun. 90,000 buildings were destroyed in the country.
