Turkey wants Enes Kanter extradited from the USA: Turkish Media

According to the Local Turkish Reports, Turkish prosecutors want an arrest warrant for Enes Kanter as he has been reported to be linked to a "terrorist Organisation". The Chief Prosecutor's Office has raised a request for extradition of Kanter.

Kanter has been open about his support to the Gülenist Terror Group (FETO), and this is what has landed him in trouble.

In the request for Extradition, there have been accusations of Kanter's connection to senior FETO figures and his posts related to Fetullah Gulen. He is believed to be a regular user of the ByLock app which he uses to have a secret conversation with FETO members.

He has also been accused of providing funds to the group, which the group uses to carry out various crimes. Justice Ministry has received the request for his extradition.

However, Kanter has denied the accusations.

Below is what he said on Twitter:

"Turkish Government cannot present any single piece of evidence of my wrongdoing. I don't even have a parking ticket in the US (True). I have always been a law-abiding resident"

Kanter will miss the game against the Bucks in London. Many believe the reason for his absence from the match being his fear that if he leaves the USA, the Turkish spies will kill him.

Below is what he said about not playing against Bucks.

"It's altogether too risky. Turkish President uses Interpol to catch critics in other countries."

However, the Bucks' Management has stated that he is missing the match due to Visa Issues.

The Knicks are already missing Kristaps Porzingis, who has been out due to injury. This trouble with Enes Kanter will do them no right as currently, they stand at the 13th place in the East. They need a miracle against the Bucks tonight.
