Turkish police detained the mayor of the southern district of Manavgat on Friday in a corruption inquiry, state broadcaster TRT Haber reported, the latest chapter of a sprawling legal crackdown on the main opposition party.

A local prosecutor is investigating the CHP-run district in the southern resort province of Antalya over suspected bribery and corruption, TRT said, adding that 33 others including deputy mayors of the district were also detained.
