Prosecutors said arrest warrants had been issued for more than 100 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Imamoglu has been seen as a likely contender in the next presidential election, scheduled for 2028, although early elections are likely. He and other opposition figures have accused President Recep Tayyip Erdogan\u2019s government of seeking to exclude Mr. Imamoglu from politics so that he cannot run in the election, possibly against Mr. Erdogan himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a video posted on social media before his arrest, Mr. Imamoglu accused the government of \u201cusurping the will of the
