Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Deputy Chairman Feti Yıldız issued a statement following the decision to arrest Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on allegations of 'corruption'.

In a post on his social media account, Yıldız defined 'arrest' and noted the following:

"Arrest is the restriction of the liberty of a suspect or defendant as a precautionary measure for the integrity of the trial process and to uncover the material truth beyond any doubt. 

In catalog crimes, the existence of strong suspicion of a crime and concrete evidence are grounds for arrest. Some political parties have opposed this unconsciously, but with the judicial reforms carried out, a vertical appeal path for arrests has been introduced."
