Crime boss extradited from Greece after unrest
An alleged leader of the “Baygaralar” crime group has been extradited from Greece to Türkiye after unrest broke out at a Greek prison during the transfer, Turkish media reported on Aug. 3.
Ramazan Baygara was returned to Türkiye following efforts by the Justice Ministry, according to the reports.
Authorities said the unrest erupted at the Korydallos Prison in Athens after Baygara, wanted by Interpol under a red notice, realized he was about to be extradited and resisted police officers.
Around 30 inmates who witnessed the incident allegedly started a riot and set fire to mattresses inside the prison, prompting Greek authorities to declare a red alert.
