The second hearing in Ekrem İmamoğlu's diploma case was held today.

In the investigation against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the hearing regarding İmamoğlu's revoked diploma took place at the Marmara Closed Penal Institution in Silivri. In the first hearing, the judge summarized the indictment.

The case was opened based on allegations that İmamoğlu's diploma was fake. It is claimed that the diploma he received from Istanbul University in 1994 is fraudulent.

İmamoğlu faces a potential prison sentence ranging from 2 years and 6 months to 8 years and 9 months. This situation could also affect his eligibility to run for president.

Tensions arose during the hearing. İmamoğlu's lawyers requested a change of courtroom. However, the court decided to hold the hearing in a larger room.

It was learned that İmamoğlu decided not to attend the hearing. This decision sparked significant public interest.
