Turkey Detains Bursa Mayor in Corruption Probe

Turkish authorities detained Bursa Mayor Mustafa Bozbey and 54 others in coordinated raids across multiple provinces as part of a prosecution alleging improper construction-related floor-area increases in exchange for bribes, forming and leading a criminal organization, money laundering and zoning violations; the detentions have immediate political implications for the opposition CHP's control of Bursa and prompted accusations that the operation is politically motivated.
