The diploma case of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has been postponed to October 20. This case was opened based on allegations that İmamoğlu's university diploma is fake.

The first hearing took place in the prison courtroom in Silivri. The judge rejected the request to present the detained lawyer in the courtroom. The next hearing will be held on October 20 at 11:00 AM.

İmamoğlu transferred from Girne American University to Istanbul University in 1990. Following allegations of his diploma being fake, the Higher Education Council initiated an investigation.

Istanbul University has canceled İmamoğlu's diploma. The reasons for cancellation included 'absence' and 'clear error'. This situation could impact İmamoğlu's political career.

İmamoğlu expressed his frustration in court, stating, "They canceled my diploma, which is as halal as my mother's milk." This case may also influence the political atmosphere in Turkey.
