Istanbul's chief public prosecutor filed a sweeping indictment against the city's jailed mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, accusing him of 142 offences tied to corruption and organised crime, and seeking a total prison sentence exceeding 2,000 years.
İmamoğlu, a prominent opposition figure widely seen as a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was arrested in March along with several municipal officials who were accused of running a criminal organisation, accepting bribes, extortion and bid-rigging.
