Turkish Prosecutor Seeks To Extradite Enes Kanter
- 5 years ago
According to Reuters, Turkish authorities are seeking to extradite New York Knicks center Enes Kanter.
The NBA player was indicted for his alleged involvement in a terrorist organization.
The charge stems from Kanter's outspoken support for Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric living in exile.
Authorities in Turkey have accused Gulen of organizing a failed military coup back in 2016.
But Kanter has taken to Twitter to defend himself, saying that he's a law-abiding citizen.
