Kosovo police arrest Turkish national on Interpol red notice

Kosovo police announced Tuesday they arrested a suspect sought by Türkiye through Interpol on a red notice.

"Kosovo police successfully fulfilled their legal duties within the framework of international police cooperation with other countries and today detained A.P., a Turkish citizen born in 1962, who was wanted by Interpol on behalf of Turkish state authorities and sentenced to more than 14 years in prison,'' police said in the statement.

A.P. was caught in an operation by the "International Law Enforcement Unit (ILECU)".

Kosovo police said they remain committed to establishing and advancing international police cooperation with law enforcement agencies and institutions of other countries.

Last month, Kosovo police detained another suspect sought by Türkiye through Interpol on suspicion of involvement in international drug trafficking.
