Turkey has asked the UAE to extradite Chief of Staff Sedat Peker

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has asked the United Arab Emirates authorities to arrest and extradite to Turkey the convicted mafia boss Sedat Peker, following the issuance of a red notice by Interpol, Reuters reports quoting the state agency Anadolu.

Turkish authorities launched an investigation into Sedat Packer in 2021. Shortly afterwards, Packer began posting videos on YouTube detailing corruption cases involving top Turkish officials.

The videos were shot in the United Arab Emirates, with which Turkey has had very bad relations in the past. Lately, however, Ankara has been making an intensive effort to restore relations, with the two countries have recently signed 13 agreements in various fields.
