The Straits Times

Turkish prosecutors have ordered the detention of 36 individuals, including Huseyin Can Guner, the mayor of Ankara's Cankaya district, as part of a bribery and tender rigging investigation. The Ankara chief prosecutor's office announced on Saturday that 27 suspects have already been detained, with searches ongoing for the remaining nine. Guner, a member of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), stated on social media that he had informed authorities of his whereabouts and provided a spare key for the search of his home while he travels to Ankara. He asserted that his administration has managed the district responsibly and has not engaged in any conduct that would betray public trust.
