Recent documents released by Wikileaks have revealed evidence of cooperation between the government of Turkey and the Islamic State to profit from oil fields controlled by the terrorist group in Iraq and Syria. Wikileaks announced a searchable database of over 57,000 emails from the personal email accounts of Turkey’s energy minister Berat Albayrak, who is also the son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The emails were published in partnership with a Turkish group called Red Hack, which earlier claimed in September that it had access to almost 20 gigabytes of data and was later censored on the internet by the Turkish government.

The emails show that since becoming energy minister in late 2015, Mr. Albayrak was still leading the daily operations of a company called Powertrans which has been accused of enabling Islamic State oil to reach the international marketplace from Syria and Kurdish areas of Iraq. Powertrans has a virtual monopoly over oil transport in Turkey as it was the only company granted a license in 2012 after a ban enacted in 2011 by Erdogan.

As reported by Zero Hedge, many emails show a company manager Betul Yilmaz asking for Albayrak to approve decisions like organizational planning, approving new employees and salary decisions. The email exchange between Albayrak and Yilmaz lasts for three years from 2012 until 2015.

Allegations that the government of Turkey has helped the Islamic State are not new, as regional parties and others involved in the Syrian proxy war, have made these accusations since 2014. Bilal Erdogan, the son of President Erdogan, was exposed as a major part of the logistics of the Islamic State oil trade through Turkey.
