Istanbul Mayor Imamoğlu Faces Trial With Up to 2,352 Years in Prison

Ekrem Imamoğlu, Istanbul's mayor and the main opposition CHP's presidential candidate in Turkey, faces trial on Monday in three simultaneous court cases. The combined maximum sentences he faces amount to 2,352 years in prison. The proceedings are widely seen as a politically motivated attempt to sideline President Erdoğan's chief electoral rival.
