Moody's, Turkish court decisions mark twin setback for Erdogan

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan suffered a double blow on Friday when a court rolled back his government's efforts to tighten its grip on the judiciary and Moody's cut its outlook for the economy on which for many his reputation stands.

Erdogan has divided opinion at home and unnerved Western governments with his response to a corruption scandal swirling around his inner circle since December, removing thousands of police and judiciary officials and blocking social media sites.
