A Turkish fugitive crime boss, wanted under an Interpol Red Notice, has been returned to Türkiye from Greece, Turkish authorities announced. Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi said the extradition involved Sercan Sayal, a fugitive leader of a so-called next-generation organized crime group. He was wanted on 116 separate charges, including murder and robbery. Turkish authorities said Sayal was accused of offences including forming a criminal organization, aggravated robbery and armed robbery carried out by multiple perpetrators. Investigators also alleged he orchestrated 90 shootings, three assaults, one murder and 164 acts of intimidation in the western province of İzmir. The Interior Ministry said it has brought 805 fugitives back to Türkiye from 45 countries since the beginning of the year, including 189 leaders and members of criminal gangs. It said the crackdown focuses on so-called next-generation gangs, including networks that recruit minors and teenagers and use social media to publicise activity, glorify criminal behaviour and attract recruits. It added that Türkiye will continue to restrict fugitives’ movements abroad and close off escape routes.
