Corruption investigations continue to shake Turkey's agenda. Adana Metropolitan Mayor Zeydan Karalar was detained as part of an Istanbul-based corruption investigation.

Karalar was referred to court with an arrest request for the crime of 'extortion by coercion'. Abdurrahman Tutdere received a house arrest decision. Karalar denied all allegations and claimed that all tenders were conducted transparently.

Zeydan Karalar has been serving as the Mayor of Adana since 2019. He stated that all tenders during his term have passed audits.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office indicated that Karalar is facing bribery allegations. However, Karalar claims these accusations are completely unfounded.

These developments, which have caused a significant stir in the political arena, have once again brought the issue of combating corruption in Turkey to the forefront. The judicial process regarding Karalar and other suspects is eagerly awaited.
