The jury found Chalayan, the mayor of Istanbul, guilty of both charges of cooperating with terrorist groups and paying bribes and presented him to the criminal court while continuing his arrest.
Meanwhile, according to the court document seen by the Reuters news agency, the arrested mayor of Istanbul has denied the “terrorism” charges against him.
On the basis of this document, Akram Imamoglu said in his defense in a court session on Saturday that today in my interrogation, I realized that I and my colleagues are facing unimaginable accusations and slanders.
