Turkish authorities have issued arrest warrants for 22 individuals linked to a corruption crackdown on the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB), following the arrest of Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. İmamoğlu, a political rival of President Erdoğan, has denied wrongdoing. The opposition party CHP criticized the arrests as part of a strategy to undermine the IBB. Protests erupted after İmamoğlu's arrest, leading to police intervention.
