NEW YORK — A Turkish businessman whose criminal case became a controversy at the highest levels of U.S. and Turkish government looks like he’ll never make it to trial. The signs make it likely his case will be resolved as part of a deal with prosecutors. After they were hired by Zarrab earlier this year, they met with Turkey’s president and said they planned to meet as well with top U.S. officials to resolve the case without trial. Zarrab, 33, of Istanbul, has been in custody since his March 2016 arrest as he arrived with his family in Florida for vacation. He is a well-known personality in Turkey partly because he’s married to Turkish pop star and TV personality Ebru Gundes.
