17-year-old TC and his mother Eylem Tok, who fled to the USA after causing death in a traffic accident in Eyüpsultan, were caught and arrested in Boston. The suspects, who made plans to visit a private school worth 46 thousand dollars, face Turkey’s extradition request.
Court Decision and Extradition Process
Eylem Tok and her son were arrested in court in Boston. At the hearing to be held today, Turkey’s extradition request and evidence will be discussed. While their lawyers argue that extradition is not possible, Turkish authorities think that the suspects may obtain fake passports to escape to Cuba.
Developments After the Accident
One of the 5 people injured in the accident that occurred on March 1 died. Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç announced that cooperation was being made with the Egyptian judicial authorities for the extradition of the suspects. Judicial proceedings were initiated against other suspects, some were arrested, and some were subject to judicial control measures.
