Officials in Turkey say 113 arrest warrants have been issued in connection with the construction of buildings that collapsed in Monday's earthquake.
Turkish police have already taken at least 12 people into custody, including building contractors.
For years, experts warned that many new buildings in Turkey were unsafe due to endemic corruption and government policies.
