Asil Nadir could be deported to Turkey

According to a report in SABAH, TC businessman Asil Nadir could be sent to Turkey.

The Chairman of the board of the once conglomerate giant Polly Peck International, who was tried in the UK in 2012 and imprisoned there, could be deported to Turkey after he willingly relinquished his British citizenship.

However with the fear that he would be set free if he is deported back to Turkey, the British government is waiting for the UK elections to end on the 7th of May before he takes any action. It sees the deportation as a risk.

It is believed that PM and Conservative Party leader David Cameron will not take the risk of losing votes if Nadir is set free in Turkey therefore everything is on hold at the moment.

Nadir had been convicted and sentenced to 10 years; under normal circumstances, he had 16 months left in prison.
