Saruhanlı Public Prosecutor Bayram Gülhan in Manisa was arrested on charges of "mediating bribery" and "knowingly aiding an organization." The charges rest on a probe into interference in judicial proceedings in Istanbul.
Gülhan had been suspended by decision of the Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK). In the probe, he is alleged to have leaked information in return for benefits to former deputy mayor Hüseyin Avni Sipahi, who had been arrested in the 2022 Beşiktaş Municipality bribery investigation.
