Morning opened with a security sweep: 43 detained in a bribery probe at CHP-held Seferihisar municipality, 27 held in 22 provinces over alleged C31K school-attack plots, and fugitive drug leader İslam Yakut caught in Istanbul after nine years on the run, alongside six solved cold-case murders.
By midday courts took focus as detained Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu received 2 years 1 month with a political ban in the Tuzla insult case after two acquittals, his camp calling the judges void, while his Büyükçekmece trial was moved to Silivri. Details also emerged in Maltepe where a tenant shot dead a landlord couple returned from Germany.
President Erdoğan then dominated from his hometown Rize at a mass opening, urging an end to front politics and patience toward a terror-free Türkiye.
The evening closed on Fenerbahçe announcing İsmail Kartal would stay after hours of resignation reports.
