Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP)'s leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu applied on Tuesday to the Parliament for a commission to be established so that it could investigate him and his family's properties.

The move came after allegations of corruption, dubbed as 'BuzGate' by Turkish media, emerged recently about an Istanbul's Ataşehir district mayor Battal İlgezdi and his wife Gamze Akkuş İlgezdi, newly-elected lawmaker from the CHP, claiming the family's purchase of 12 flats in the Buz Residence, a posh skyscraper, was through illegally earned money.

Zeynep Kılıçdaroğlu, daughter of party leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, has also bought a flat in the said skyscraper, which prompted the party leader to ask for a commission of investigation to be established for him and his family's wealth.

CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu had earlier said that her daughter purchased the flat through her savings.
