Balgarianovinite.com Sixty-one people suspected of various offences have been handed over to the Turkish authorities from foreign countries. According to Haber7, sixteen of the extradited individuals were wanted on an Interpol red notice, while the rest were sought under national alerts. The operations to detain and transfer the persons wanted by Turkiye were carried out with the support of specialized institutions in seven other countries, including Bulgaria.
“The extradition process was carried out in cooperation with Interpol and seven countries – Georgia (50 extradited), Germany (4), Greece (3), and one each from Poland, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates and Bulgaria,” the Turkish Interior Ministry said in a statement. “The Interpol-Europol Department of the Turkish General Directorate of Security, together with staff from the Ministry of Justice and the departments for Organized Crime, Intelligence and Narcotics Offences, as well as the Cybersecurity, Public Order and Counterterrorism departments, meticulously tracked individuals who had fled abroad and were subject to arrest warrants. Through cooperation with law enforcement bodies in the respective countries, the detained individuals were successfully extradited to Turkiye.”
Among those extradited is former national team footballer Batuhan Karadeniz (35), the Milliyet daily reported. A red notice had been issued for Karadeniz on suspicion of involvement in illegal betting. The former Turkish international was detained by police in the United Arab Emirates.
Late last year the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office launched a large-scale investigation into alleged illegal betting and match-fixing. As part of the ongoing investigation, dozens of suspects were detained, and the Turkish Football Federation removed more than 150 football referees. 61 Crime Suspects Extradited to Turkiye, Including One from Bulgaria 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-04-11 10:52:28 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
