It means the effective death of the law imho. It is already at a very fragile stage anyway, as it now is only in effect for the wealthy and governments. The poor can't afford to defend themselves or protect their legally sanctioned rights as it is.

(Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's office said voice recordings on YouTube purportedly of Erdogan telling his son to dispose of large sums of money on the day news broke of a graft inquiry into his government were fake and "completely untrue".
Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the audio recordings, which were posted on the video sharing site late on Monday.
In the recordings, the voice supposedly of Erdogan can be heard asking his son to remove the money from his home.
At one point, the voice at the other end of the line says some 30 million euros ($40 million) remain to be disposed of.
The recordings, which appeared two days after Erdogan's AK Party officially began campaigning for local elections at the end of March, may be the latest purported revelation in a graft scandal Erdogan has cast as orchestrated to unseat him.
