The Turkish prosecutor will ask Saudi Arabia for the extradition of eighteen suspects in the case of the missing journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. The Turkish Ministry of Justice announced it Friday
According to Saudi Arabia, eighteen suspects were arrested and five representatives of the Saudi government were sacked.
Khashoggi disappeared on October 2 during his visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. His partner rang the alarm a day later. It was not known for a long time what had happened to Khashoggi. Turkey says Khashoggi was murdered
Late last week, Saudi authorities said Khashoggi was no longer alive. According to the consulate authorities, he allegedly fought and died. Saudi Arabia had previously claimed that the journalist had left the consulate
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants the perpetrators of the alleged murder in Turkey to be brought to justice. Although the consulate is in Istanbul, it is not in Turkish territory. As embassies and consulates are not the territory of the state in which the buildings are located, Turkey can not simply determine that the suspects are in Turkey.
A Saudi prosecutor goes to Turkey on Sunday.
