Turkey arrests nearly 200 people over alleged poor building construction following quake tragedy

Following the catastrophic earthquake that hit Turkey earlier this month, 200 of the 626 suspects have been arrested according to Turkey's Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag. More than 5,000 buildings have collapsed according to the country's disaster agency and although some of the suspects died in the the quake, police are still  hunting for others. Many questions have been asked about the integrity of the structures in the affected areas as building codes were tightened after previous disasters.
