ANKARA, July 25 — Turkey has not released a man wanted by Haiti over his alleged involvement in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, his lawyer said today, despite a court rejecting his extradition and ruling he should be freed three weeks ago.
Businessman Samir Handal, a Jordanian national, was detained on an Interpol red notice as he transited through Turkey on his way from the United States to Jordan last November.A Turkish court rejected Haiti’s extradition request for Handal on July 4 and ruled he should be released. “My client is illegally being deprived of his liberty based on the falsely argued existence of a red notice,” Barlas told Reuters.
He said Handal had been held in a deportation centre since July 5 and was transferred to Istanbul Airport on July 15 before being returned after the deportation process was halted.Interpol did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the status of the red notice against Handal.
