Russia has extradited three particularly dangerous criminals to Turkey
Three particularly dangerous criminals wanted through Interpol channels have been deported from Russia. This was reported on August 21 in the "Ministry of Internal Affairs Media".
It is specified that among those detained in Sochi was the leader of one of the largest organized criminal groups in Turkey. The man is accused, among other things, of trafficking drugs and weapons and causing bodily harm.
The second detainee, according to the portal, has been wanted since February 2025 on charges of murder, attempted murder and bodily harm. An attacker carried out an armed attack on members of another group in a cafe in Istanbul. Then, as a result of a shootout, one of the man's opponents was killed.
The third person involved was wanted internationally for premeditated murder. He was part of a group involved in the illegal transit of migrants. Having received money from 15 foreigners for shipping out of the country, his accomplices placed them in a small boat, as a result of which the ship sank. Ten migrants, including eight children, died.
"After the detention of the defendants in Russia, following the results of the inspection, it was decided to send them to Turkey. Today, the Russian police handed them over to their Turkish colleagues at the Sochi airport," follows from a publication on the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Media.
