Turkey extradites former official to Kazakhstan
23 July 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
Former Kazakh anti-drug agency head Askar Isagaliyev, who was arrested in Antalya in January, was extradited to Kazakhstan this week upon the request of the Central Asian country. The Kazakh Chief Prosecutor’s Office made a statement on Thursday saying that the former chairman of the Anti-Drug Trafficking Committee, Isagaliyev, had been extradited to Kazakhstan and he was in a jail near Astana.
Kazakhstan issued an international arrest warrant for Isagaliyev on charges of abuse of power while in office between August 2008 and February 2009, and the country said it informed all members of Interpol about this.
The Kazakh Interior Ministry earlier announced that Turkish and Kazakh Interpol forces worked together in four months of coordinated efforts to arrest the former chairman and Turkey made a preliminary agreement to extradite the former bureaucrat to Kazakhstan.
