New developments in the extradition case against Eyrum Tok
According to legal sources, Tok is reportedly scheduled to appear at a sentencing hearing in Massachusetts District Court in Boston on September 11 at 2:15 p.m. A decision on whether to extradite Tok to Turkey is expected to be announced at the hearing.
He had his son kidnapped overseas.
Ouz Murat Assi, 29, was killed when 17-year-old Timur Cihantimur, who was driving without a license, crashed into three ATVs parked on the side of the road in a luxury vehicle. After the accident, which injured several people, the driver, Timur Cihantimur, was kidnapped by his mother, Eylem Tok, first to Egypt and then to the United States.
Arrest warrants were issued for them.
A warrant for capture was issued for them.
The Istanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office, which launched an investigation into the case, issued an arrest warrant for “protection” against the mother, Eylem Tok, who was found to have flown from Istanbul to Egypt at around 3:50 a.m. on March 2. It requested the issuance of a red notice for Timur Cihantimur for “reckless homicide.”
Turkiye demands return to his home country
Turkiye last month requested the US extradite the mother and child. On Friday, June 14, Timur Cihantimur and Aylem Tok, who were arrested in a police operation in Boston, US, appeared separately before a judge in the US.
At an earlier hearing, it was decided that the two would remain in custody.
