Kurd Arrested In Montenegro After Turkish Extradition Request Denied

Montenegro has arrested a Kurdish man on forgery charges a week after denying Turkey's request for his extradition. Binali Camgoza was arrested on January 30 for registering a company with false documents, Montenegrin authorities said. Turkey accuses Camgoz, a paraplegic and Shi'a, of crimes that include creating a criminal organization and attempted murder. Montenegro detained Camgoz in July 2023 on an Interpol warrant. He has requested asylum but Montenegrin authorities have yet to make a decision.
