UAE thanks Turkey for help apprehending suspects in murder of Chabad rabbi
|
[IsraelTimes] UAE’s foreign ministry confirms Ankara’s involvement, but does not provide details on how it helped or where the suspects were when they were caught
The United Arab Emirates foreign ministry announced on Tuesday that Ottoman Turkish authorities assisted in the arrest of the suspects accused of murdering an Israeli rabbi in the UAE last week.
In a statement carried by the state news agency, the ministry thanked Ottoman Turkish authorities for "their cooperation in arresting the perpetrators," without providing further details.
Emirati authorities have said they arrested three Uzbek men for the suspected murder of Zvi Kogan, a 28-year-old rabbi who had been living in the UAE and was also a Moldovan national.
The circumstances of Kogan’s death have not been disclosed and it is unclear if Emirati authorities have established a motive or where the three suspects were when they were arrested.
Israeli officials have said Kogan was targeted because he was Jewish and branded his killing as an antisemitic terror attack. Israeli agencies are assisting in the investigation.
Kogan had been living in the UAE for several years and had been involved in outreach to the country’s Jewish community. He was reported missing on Thursday and his body was discovered on Sunday.
Uzbek officials have said the Tashkent government was assisting the Emirati and Israeli authorities in the investigation.
Two of the detained suspects are aged 28 and a third is 33. The three suspects have been shown blindfolded and in restraints in images released by the UAE Interior Ministry.
According to a senior Turkish official, once the UAE determined that the three Uzbek suspects had fled the country, they turned to Turkey for help.
“The Turkish intelligence determined the flight taken by the individuals and executed all subsequent steps with utmost secrecy to avoid raising suspicion,” says the official.
The suspects landed in Istanbul, according to the Turkish official, but police allowed the suspects to leave the terminal and take a taxi in order to reduce the potential for a fight. The police and MIT followed the vehicle, which eventually reached a police checkpoint. The suspects were taken into custody there, then deported to the UAE.
“The Republic of Türkiye remains steadfast in its efforts to prevent criminals from remaining within its borders as part of its broader counter-terrorism initiatives,” says the official.
