An investigation into Turkey's ambassador to Rome has found him guilty of alleged sexual harassment.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry launched an internal investigation into Ambassador Ali Yakıtal after a complaint was filed against him for alleged sexual harassment. The probe found that he was guilty of the alleged misconduct.

Yakıtal was called back to Ankara after the investigation was completed, and a Turkish Foreign Ministry official said that he is expected to quit. Early retirement is also an option.

Before his appointment to Rome, Yakıtal, a career diplomat, worked in the Prime Ministry as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s main adviser on foreign-policy issues and was known to be part of the premier’s inner circle.
