Ekrem İmamoğlu has remained in pretrial detention since March 2025 in the ongoing İBB corruption and organized crime case, with Turkish courts extending his custody multiple times—including a August 2026 ruling covering him and 52 other defendants. The trial, involving over 400 people and prosecutors seeking sentences exceeding 2,000 years, resumed its second session in mid-August 2026 after a recess, with İmamoğlu yet to complete his defense amid procedural disputes. No acquittal, bail grant, or release has occurred despite partial releases of co-defendants, and parallel proceedings such as the diploma annulment case add further constraints. These sustained judicial actions underpin trader consensus that release is unlikely before the end of 2026.
