Georgian migration officials have detained and deported a Turkish citizen wanted by Turkish law enforcement over allegations of multiple serious crimes, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced.

According to the ministry, the man was engaged in business activities in Georgia without the required work permit, providing grounds for his deportation under Georgian law.

During an identity check, officials discovered that he was wanted in Türkiye on charges including premeditated murder, concealing a crime, murder to evade arrest, bribery, making threats and fraud.

After the necessary legal procedures were completed, the man was escorted to the Sarpi border crossing, where he was handed over to Turkish law enforcement representatives.
