In the corruption investigation against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the suspects Eyüp Subaşı, Kabil Taşçı, and Güngör Gürman became informants by benefiting from the provisions of 'effective remorse.' All three were released under judicial control measures of 'not leaving their residence' and 'prohibition on leaving the country.' Thus, the number of suspects benefiting from effective remorse in the investigation has increased to 8.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office continues its corruption investigation against suspects, including Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was arrested and removed from his position as the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), on charges of 'being a leader of a criminal organization', 'being a member of a criminal organization', 'bribery', 'qualified fraud', 'illegally obtaining personal data', and 'interfering with a tender'.
