A Turkish court ordered Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Muhittin Böcek and his son Mustafa Gökhan Böcek to remain in custody in the bribery and corruption case targeting the municipality. In his defense, Böcek said 149 of the 151 people detained in the investigation have been released, leaving only himself and his son jailed. The ruling keeps the mayor of one of Turkey's largest cities behind bars as the trial proceeds, a high-profile test of the judiciary's handling of opposition-run municipalities. Investors and analysts will watch whether the case disrupts municipal operations and spending in Antalya, and whether further hearings produce releases or new charges.
