Turkey demands more than 2,000 years in jail for popular Istanbul mayor

A Turkish prosecutor has demanded a prison sentence of more than 2,000 years for Ekrem Imamoglu (PRON: Ima-moloo), the jailed opposition mayor of Istanbul.

Imamoglu denies leading a vast corruption network, and says the charges against him are politically motivated.
