Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The seventh hearing in the corruption trial of 53 defendants, including suspended Şile Mayor Özgür Kabadayı and Berkant Acil—brother of singer Haluk Levent—adjourned without a verdict and will resume on November 6. The defendants face charges of forming and joining an organization to commit crimes, bribery, embezzlement and bid-rigging tied to the Şile Municipality investigation. Kabadayı was arrested and removed from office as part of the probe. The case matters because the mayor's suspension leaves one of Istanbul's 39 district municipalities under appointed or acting leadership while the prosecution proceeds. Watch the November 6 hearing for testimony and any rulings on continued detention or release of the defendants.
