He has denied the accusations against him, which Mr. Erdogan\u2019s opponents have called a ploy to prevent a popular politician from running for president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The court ordered that Mr. Imamoglu be jailed on accusations of corruption pending a trial, the state-run news media said. State prosecutors have accused him of leading a criminal organization and overseeing bribery, bid rigging and other financial misdeeds at City Hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Prosecutors also accused him of supporting terrorism through his political coordination with a pro-Kurdish group during local elections last year. The court has not yet ruled on whether he will be jailed for those accusations as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The decision to jail Mr. Imamoglu, who has been elected mayor three times since 2019, raised the possibility that he would be removed from office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Critics of Mr. Erdogan, who has dominated Turkish politics for more than two decades, have long accused him of using state power to undermine his rivals. But, they say, arresting a presidential contender to eliminate him from the race before it begins represents <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/22\/world\/middleeast\/turkey-erdogan-democracy-istanbul-mayor-detention.html\" title=\"\">a new level of authoritarianism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some European leaders have criticized the mayor\u2019s arrest, which has prompted protests around Turkey, and they have called on the Turkish government to uphold the rule of law. Senior U.S. officials have said little.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Steve Witkoff, President Trump\u2019s Middle East envoy, made no mention of the mayor\u2019s detention in an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1903207340696014945\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with the former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson that was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1903207340696014945\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">posted on X<\/a> on Saturday. But he said that Mr. Trump had recently spoken with Mr. Erdogan. The call was not made public by the White House at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere is just a lot of good, positive news coming out of Turkey right now as a result of that conversation,\u201d Mr. Witkoff said, without providing further details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite Mr. Imamoglu\u2019s detention, Turkey\u2019s main opposition party, the Republican People\u2019s Party, or C.H.P., has gone ahead with a primary on Sunday to formally designate him its presidential candidate. Party members voted around the country, and the party called on nonparty members to turn out as well to cast symbolic ballots to support the jailed mayor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Erdogan\u2019s current presidential term, his second, expires in 2028. While the Constitution limits presidents to two full terms, he could legally run again if Parliament called for early elections, cutting short his second mandate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many people in Turkey expect that to happen. If it does, it is possible that Mr. Imamoglu, 54, could be barred from the race and would not be able to challenge Mr. Erdogan, 71.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The jailing of Mr. Imamoglu could disrupt the administration of Turkey\u2019s largest city. The city government employs more than 100,000 people and oversees a number of companies that build housing, run public transportation and carry out infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Large protests against Mr. Imamoglu\u2019s detention have broken out nightly in cities across Turkey, despite the government\u2019s efforts to stop them. Public demonstrations have been banned in the country\u2019s three largest cities, social medial access has been restricted and major transit hubs have been closed to hamper the ability of protesters to gather in public squares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, the Interior Ministry said that 343 people had been arrested while protesting, and the office of Istanbul\u2019s governor, who is appointed by Mr. Erdogan, said travelers \u201clikely to participate in unlawful protests\u201d would be prevented from entering the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Safak
