Three suspects arrested in connection with the death of Israeli-Moldovan rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE were apprehended in Turkey after a joint operation by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) and police force. The suspects were caught while attempting to flee, following a request for assistance from the UAE government.
The operation, shrouded in secrecy, involved monitoring the suspects' movements after they landed in Istanbul. MIT and Turkish police tracked the taxi the suspects used to leave the airport, leading to their eventual capture. The suspects were taken into custody without incident.
Upon apprehension, Turkish officials cooperated with UAE authorities and promptly extradited the suspects back to the UAE to face charges related to the death of Rabbi Zvi Kogan. The collaborative effort between Turkey and the UAE highlights the importance of international cooperation in combating crime and ensuring justice is served.
