Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu urged the U.S. on Wednesday to conduct the process involving a Halkbank executive in a transparent way.

Çavuşoğlu said that Turkey is following Halkbank Deputy General Manager Mehmet Hakan Atilla's detention.

Atilla is accused of conspiring with Iranian-Turkish gold trader Reza Zarrab, according to a criminal complaint filed in a federal court in New York and was detained by U.S. authorities late Tuesday.
