　　In the recordings two people alleged to be Mr Erdogan and his son are heard discussing means of getting rid of large amounts of cash。

　　The office of Turkey'sprime minister has said that recordings of allegedly wiretapped conversations between the Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his son - leaked onto the internet and suggesting corruption - were fabricated。

　　In recent weeks, several voice recordings of conversations allegedly involving Mr Erdogan, his children, aides or businessmen have been circulating on the internet。

　　In the latest recordings leaked on Monday, two people alleged to be Mr Erdogan and his son are heard discussing means of getting rid of large amounts of cash from their home. The conversations allegedly took place Dec. 17, the day that sons of three Cabinet ministers were detained as part of a vast corruption investigation。

　　Media reports said Mr Erdogan met with Turkey's intelligence chief soon after that tape began to circulate on the internet and that his office later issued a statement saying that the recordings were "immorally" fabricated and "totally unreal." It said the prime minister would take legal action against the recordings。

　　Turkey's main opposition party held an emergency meeting to discuss the latest leaked recording and called on Mr Erdogan to resign, insisting that his government had lost its legitimacy。

　　Mr Erdogan insists that the corruption probe which forced him in December to dismiss four Cabinet ministers is a conspiracy to discredit his government before local elections in March and a presidential election in August. He says the investigations were orchestrated by followers of a moderate Islamic movement led by US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who have allegedly infiltrated Turkey's police and judiciary。

　　Last month, the leader's 33 year-old son, Bilal Erdogan, was questioned by prosecutors investigating the allegations.

　　据英国《每日电讯报》报道，在一份公布的谈话录音里，两位男子商讨从家中转移走一大笔现金的办法，而这两位男子被指是土耳其总理埃尔多安(Erdogan)和他的儿子。

　　土耳其总理办公室称，在网络上出现的有关总理雷杰普·塔 伊普·埃尔多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)和他儿子涉及腐败的谈话内容的监听录音纯属杜撰。

　　近几周以来，在网络上流传了多个被指是埃尔多安和他的孩子、随从或商人的谈话录音。

　　在2月24日泄露出来的一份最新录音中，两名男子商讨如何将一大笔现金从家中转移出去。这两名男子被指是埃尔多安和他的儿子。谈话的时间发生在2013年12月7日，而同时，土耳其三名内阁部长的儿子在一起重大腐败案件调查中被拘。

　　据媒体报道，录音开始在网络上流传后，埃尔多安立即召见了土耳其情报部门负责人，而总理办公室随后发表声明，称监听录音是“不道德”的造假和“完全失实”。该办公室称，总理将对此采取法律手段回应。

　　土耳其主要反对党就最近流传的录音事件召开了紧急会议，呼吁埃尔多安下台，并称土耳其现政府已丧失了执政的法律基础。

　　埃尔多安坚持认为，2013年12月迫使他解除4名内阁部长职务的反腐调查是一起阴谋，意图在3月份地方选举和8月份总统选举到来前败坏他所领导政府的威信。埃尔多安称，驻美国法士拉·葛兰(Fethullah Gulen)宗教团体领导下的温和伊斯兰运动组织已经渗透到了土耳其的警察机构和司法部门，是该组织的追随者们精心策划了这起反腐调查。

　　在1月，埃尔多安33岁的儿子比拉·埃尔多安(Bilal Erdogan)曾遭调查此反腐案件检查官的询问。
