Corruption Suspicions/ Istanbul Mayor Arrested

Turkish police on Wednesday arrested Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamo?lu, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main rival, as part of an investigation into suspected corruption links.

The state-run Anadolu Agency reported that prosecutors also issued warrants for 100 other people.

Authorities closed several roads around Istanbul and banned demonstrations in the city for four days.

The arrest was preceded by a search of Imamo?lu's home on Tuesday, which came a day after a university invalidated his degree, effectively disqualifying the popular opposition figure from running in the upcoming presidential race. Having a university degree is a prerequisite for running in elections under Turkish law./ CNA
