Ekrem İmamoğlu has remained in pretrial detention since his March 2025 arrest on corruption, organized crime, and related charges, with the Istanbul court rejecting bail applications and continuing his custody at Marmara Prison into mid-2026. The sprawling trial, which opened in March 2026 with over 400 defendants and seeks lengthy sentences, saw an April interim ruling maintain detention for İmamoğlu and most co-defendants while releasing only a minority under judicial controls. Parallel proceedings and appeals, including his European Court of Human Rights application, have produced no procedural shifts or acquittals favoring release. Traders price an 88% chance of no release by December 31, 2026, reflecting the absence of political negotiations, successful bail motions, or broader judicial changes that could alter custody status within the window.
