L'atto di accusa contro İmamoğlu è lungo quasi 4 000 pagine e comprende più di 140 capi d'imputazione. I pubblici ministeri chiedono pene detentive che potrebbero teoricamente ammontare a più di 2 000 anni. La portata e la natura di queste accuse, nonché le prove presentate – che sembrano essere interamente indiziarie – suggeriscono fortemente che si tratti di un processo motivato politicamente, volto a mettere da parte un importante oppositore del presidente Erdoğan. “Il processo contro Ekrem İmamoğlu ha tutte le caratteristiche di un processo politico basato su accuse discutibili. L'uso della magistratura per eliminare gli oppositori democratici è incompatibile con lo Stato di diritto e con gli standard democratici che ci si aspetta da un paese membro del Consiglio d'Europa e candidato all'adesione all'UE”, ha affermato Sandro Gozi, segretario generale del Partito Democratico Europeo e membro del Parlamento europeo (Renew Europe). “Sembra chiaro che l'unico vero crimine di Ekrem sia quello di essere costantemente in vantaggio su Erdoğan nei sondaggi per le elezioni presidenziali”. Gozi ha anche denunciato il comportamento delle autorità turche nei confronti dei membri del Parlamento europeo. Nelle ultime settimane, nonostante le ripetute richieste, a Gozi non è stato permesso di incontrare İmamoğlu in prigione. “Le autorità turche hanno davvero paura di una visita a un uomo detenuto in un carcere di massima sicurezza? Questo rifiuto è segno di estrema debolezza. Se le autorità turche temono che un politico detenuto, sotto stretta sorveglianza, possa incontrare membri del Parlamento europeo che desiderano semplicemente esprimere la loro solidarietà, ciò solleva interrogativi molto seri”, ha aggiunto Gozi. “Impedire un incontro del genere non solo è inaccettabile, ma costituisce anche una chiara sfida al Parlamento europeo stesso”. Per questo motivo, Gozi ha annunciato che presenterà un'interrogazione parlamentare alla Commissione europea in merito alla condotta delle autorità turche. “La Turchia sta ignorando i principi democratici fondamentali. Il rispetto della democrazia, dello Stato di diritto e del pluralismo politico non è facoltativo per un paese europeo”. “Come Democratici europei”, ha concluso, “continueremo a stare al fianco di Ekrem İmamoğlu e delle aspirazioni del popolo turco per un futuro democratico”.
