Turkish police have arrested Istanbul’s mayor as part of what they say are investigations into alleged corruption and terror links.
Ekrem Imamoglu, a key rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was arrested on Wednesday morning, with the state-run Anadolu Agency saying prosecutors issued detention warrants for the mayor and roughly 100 other people.
On Tuesday, Istanbul University revoked his degree, saying it was falsely obtained.
