Uzan Fugitives Found in US
2003-12-08
From Turkish Press, I think they swindled a bank:
UZAN RUNS TO UNITED STATES
Yavuz Uzan, who is wanted by red bulletin, is staying in famous the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, New York under the name ’’Samuel Rogers Uzan.’’ Turkish police wanted the United States to extradite Yavuz Uzan, whom they found thanks to his phone talks, but a result has not been taken since the documents have not been completed yet. It was claimed that Justice Minister Cemil Cicek demanded extradition of Yavuz Uzan from U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft during his visit to Washington paid last week. But, the minister has not confirmed it yet. Real identity of Yavuz Uzan is being hid since he is considered VIP guest.

HIS TRACE FOUND
Turkish intelligence has found out the house where Kemal Uzan, who is searched for months due to Imarbank case and who is wanted by red bulletin, is staying in California, United States. The Foreign Ministry has launched initiatives for extradition of Kemal Uzan. According to information shared by units of two countries, Uzan, who lived in San Francisco, is kept under control by U.S. officials. Everybody who is in contact with Uzan is being followed. The Foreign Ministry has applied for Uzan’s extradition under the agreement with the United States on extradition of the guilty. Extradition can be possible after official procedures are completed.

CICEK: “INTERPOL HAS LOCATED UZAN FUGITIVES IN AMERICA”
Fugitives from justice Kemal and Yavuz Uzan, who have been on the run from Turkish authorities for several months, have both been found in the United States by Interpol, said Justice Minister Cemil Cicek yesterday. Their extradition process has already begun, stated Cicek, adding that US Attorney General John Ashcroft assured him personally last week that US authorities would cooperate fully on the matter.
Anything for our friends.

#1  Maybe Motorola should be interested in him too, since the Uzan clan have been found guilthy of $Billions fraud to that company by a US court.
