Ekrem İmamoğlu's 'fair verdict' message with photo: 'The look of our dear aunt is directed at a handful of ambitious people'

Ekrem İmamoğlu, who has been held in the Marmara Prison in Silivri for a long time, had an investigation launched against him on charges of espionage, and a court order was issued for his arrest.

Expressing his reaction to these developments through posts on his social media account, İmamoğlu released another message following his arrest on charges of "espionage." Stating, "Those who knew that a fair verdict would not be reached filled the inside and outside of the courthouse with thousands of police officers," İmamoğlu shared a striking photograph of those moments.

Sharing the photograph taken yesterday by journalist Fatoş Erdoğan in front of the Çağlayan Courthouse, where the trial was held, Ekrem İmamoğlu used the following expressions:

"Those who knew that a fair verdict would not be reached filled the inside and outside of the courthouse with thousands of police officers. The look of this dear aunt of ours is not directed at our police, but at a handful of ambitious people."
