Wanted with Red Notices: 45 people, including Halil Falyalı's bodyguard, extradited to Turkey

A significant success has been achieved in Turkey's international operations for the extradition of criminals. Most recently, 45 criminals in total—18 of whom were wanted with Red Notices and 27 of whom were wanted at the national level—were brought to Turkey through the cooperation of the relevant countries.

Within the scope of joint efforts carried out by the General Directorate of Security's Interpol-Europol, Intelligence, Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime, Narcotics, Cybercrime, Public Order, and Counter-Terrorism units, positive results have been obtained from long-running operations to extradite criminals from abroad. The process, which continues under the coordination of the Ministries of Interior and Justice, proceeded with handovers from various countries.

In this context, 45 suspects were handed over to Turkey, including 35 from Georgia, 5 from Germany, and one each from Argentina, Bulgaria, Iraq, Sweden, and Montenegro. Among those brought to the country, the extradition of Hakan Atıcı, a bodyguard for crime organization leader Halil Falyalı who was killed in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, from Argentina, and Ramazan Sadan, a member of the organized crime group known as "Redkitler," from Georgia, stood out.

The captured individuals were wanted for a wide variety of crimes, ranging from qualified fraud to cybercrimes, forgery of official documents, check fraud, drug trafficking, intentional homicide and injury, deprivation of liberty, armed robbery, theft, counterfeiting, sexual abuse, encouraging prostitution, membership in an organization, and membership in an armed terrorist organization (FETÖ), as well as possession of unlicensed firearms.
