Former Istanbul governor Hüseyin Avni Mutlu was arrested by a court early Friday in connection to the failed coup attempt.
As part of an ongoing investigation several police units conducted a search at Mutlu's residence in the early hours of July 26, before he was detained by security forces.
Mutlu served as governor of the Istanbul province between 2010 and 2014, after which he took a post with the Interior Ministry as a civilian authority, the Daily Sabah reports.
