Istanbul mayor to file complaint against minister for ‘negligence’

Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has announced that he will file a criminal complaint against Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu on the grounds that “he did not dismiss municipal workers with terror links though he had the authority.”

“You declared all of our personnel, including our companies, as public servants in the report sent to the prosecutor’s office. That is, you could use your authority. We have proven the minister’s neglect of duty with an official document,” the mayor said. “We will file a criminal complaint against him.”
