İsmail Saymaz: Australia's most wanted man was a contractor in Istanbul

Sözcü columnist İsmail Saymaz wrote that Afghan national Masood Zikria, known as the number two of the 'Alameddine' criminal organization and one of Australia's most wanted individuals, was working as a contractor in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district.

THERE WAS AN ARREST WARRANT

Stating that Masood Zikria was detained as soon as he got off the plane at Darwin Airport on December 4, Saymaz drew attention to the fact that there was an arrest warrant for him in his home country on charges of “attempted murder, membership in a criminal organization, and drug trafficking.”

ALLEGED TO HAVE ARRIVED IN TURKEY BY FISHING BOAT

Saymaz noted that there are allegations that Zikria arrived in Turkey from Malaysia in December 2021 on a fishing boat. Stating that Zikria applied for temporary residence in Esenyurt on October 19, 2022, and was granted a residence permit until November 1, 2023, Saymaz provided the following information:

“He applied for Turkish citizenship by purchasing a house in Istanbul for 420,000 dollars. He established two companies named Orion Real Estate and M and M Enterprise. He entered the construction business in Beşiktaş. On the one hand, he was supposedly trading with Dubai.”
