Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc announced that the Massachusetts District Court decided to extradite Eylem Tok and Timur Cihantimur, who were captured and arrested in the United States, to Turkey. Minister Tunc announced this development and stated that the extradition process to our country has begun.
Background of the Event
Eylem Tok and Timur Cihantimur fled Turkey as part of a criminal investigation launched following a fatal and injured traffic accident in the Eyüpsultan district of Istanbul. Following Turkey’s request for extradition, the suspects were captured and detained in the US. After evaluating the application, the Massachusetts District Court ruled that both suspects be extradited to Turkey.
Necessary Steps to Achieve Justice
Minister Tunç made a statement on the subject and said, “We will continue to pursue our necessary initiatives regarding the extradition of suspects from the US to our country for justice to be served.” Turkey continues its efforts to ensure that criminals abroad are caught and brought to the country and the judicial process is completed.
Return Process and Legal Steps
This decision stands out as an example of legal cooperation between the two countries regarding the extradition of criminals. After Eylem Tok and Timur Cihantimur are brought to Turkey, the judicial process in Turkey will begin and the necessary procedures will be carried out to ensure justice.
