Six fugitives listed on Interpol Red Notices and four others wanted nationally have been captured abroad and extradited to Türkiye, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on Sunday.
The fugitives were sought for a range of criminal charges, including drug trafficking, sexual abuse, assault, fraud, and terrorism-related offenses.
Red Notices, issued by Interpol, request international cooperation in locating and provisionally arresting individuals pending extradition.
According to Yerlikaya, A.M., wanted for drug manufacturing, was captured in Bulgaria, while N.C., sought for child sexual abuse, was detained in Poland. A.C.B., charged with drug trafficking and illegal possession of firearms, was apprehended in Georgia.
Two others, B.Y. and M.S., both wanted on multiple charges including threats, assault, fraud, and endangering traffic safety, were also captured in Georgia. Another fugitive, S.S., wanted for tax law violations, was similarly caught in Georgia.
In addition to the Red Notice arrests, four fugitives listed on Türkiye’s national wanted list were also returned to the country.
E.E., sought for child sexual abuse and making threats, was detained in Germany. Two others, S.K. and E.G., both wanted for firearms offenses, assault, and robbery, were apprehended in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Meanwhile, C.S., wanted for membership in an armed terrorist organization, was captured in Lebanon.
