Akın Gürler

Akın Gürler is the Chief Prosecutor of Istanbul, known for his controversial role in targeting opposition political figures and parties in Turkey. Appointed in October 2022, Gürler has been associated with a series of legal actions against the Republican People's Party (CHP) and its members, including the prominent mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu. His actions have led to widespread criticism and allegations of politically motivated prosecutions, particularly as they coincide with increasing tensions between the Turkish government and the opposition ahead of future elections.
