ISTANBUL: ‌Turkish prosecutors ordered the detention of 31 suspects in an investigation into share transactions involving four listed companies, the Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Wednesday. Of those, 26 have ‌been taken ‌into custody, state-run ‌Anadolu news agency reported.
