The trial of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is a significant topic in Turkey's agenda. The investigations initiated after the trial have caused a major stir in public opinion.

İmamoğlu is being tried for allegedly targeting Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Akın Gürlek and his family during the trial. Following the sharing of trial footage on social media, an investigation was launched.

The prosecutor has requested a prison sentence of two years and eight months to seven years and four months for İmamoğlu on charges of insulting a public official, threats, and targeting individuals involved in counter-terrorism.

The trial has been postponed to July 16. It was also noted that a political ban was requested for the mayor during this process.

İmamoğlu's situation is also affecting the political atmosphere in Istanbul. These developments, closely followed by the public, are critical for the future of Istanbul Municipality.
