HABAŞ Chairman Mehmet Rüştü Başaran was detained in Istanbul’s Kartal district as part of the investigation into the explosion at the company’s Aliağa steel plant in İzmir, which killed 18 workers and injured 14 others. Başaran is expected to be transferred to the İzmir Police Department after processing. The detention signals that prosecutors are extending scrutiny beyond plant-level operations to the company’s top leadership. Investors and creditors will watch whether the probe yields formal charges or broader safety-compliance findings that could affect HABAŞ’s operations and reputation.
