Turkish police detain Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu on corruption, terror charges

Turkish police have arrested Istanbul’s mayor as part of what they say are investigations into alleged corruption and terror links.
Ekrem Imamoglu, a key rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was arrested on Wednesday morning, with the state-run Anadolu Agency saying prosecutors issued detention warrants for the mayor and roughly 100 other people.
On Tuesday, Istanbul University revoked his degree, saying it was falsely obtained.
