Erdogan slams opposition for corruption in Imamoglu probe
President Erdogan accused the opposition CHP on April 8th of obstructing a corruption probe into jailed Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, calling their actions an attempt to politicise the judiciary.
According to The New Arab, the CHP says the charges are politically motivated, as İmamoğlu is seen as a strong potential rival to Erdogan.
His arrest has sparked mass protests and triggered economic turbulence, including a sharp drop in the lira.
