Bülent Mumay, a journalist in Turkey, faces up to three years in prison for reporting on a state bank's loan to a company linked to a jailed mafia boss, accused of harming the bank's reputation. This case reflects the broader context of Turkey's political landscape, where President Erdoğan's government is using the judiciary to target political opponents. Prominent opposition figures, such as Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, face severe charges that could result in long prison terms and political bans. The main opposition party, CHP, recently achieved significant political success, prompting increased government repression against journalists and opposition leaders.
