🗞️ In-depth summary

Turkish police detained Erdal Besikcioglu, the opposition mayor of Ankara's Etimesgut district, on Thursday morning as part of a corruption investigation. This action follows a similar detention on Wednesday of the opposition mayor of Istanbul's Uskudar district. Prosecutors initiated an embezzlement investigation into the Etimesgut municipality in March due to account irregularities. The opposition claims these investigations are politically motivated, while the government asserts the judiciary's independence.
