Ömer G., who was wanted in Istanbul due to a prison sentence for sexual abuse crimes against two separate children and for whom a red notice was issued, was caught in Büyükçekmece. It was learned that the fugitive convict was caught after committing his first crime in 2007, escaped from prison, committed sexual abuse against another child, and then went first to Greece and then to Germany. It was determined that Ömer G., who sought asylum in Germany, received a rejection and returned to Turkey illegally.

During operations carried out by the Public Order Branch Directorate, Wanted Persons Bureau in Istanbul to catch fugitive convicts, it was determined that Ömer G. (42), who had a prison sentence for the sexual abuse of two separate children and for whom a Red Notice had been issued because he fled abroad, returned to Türkiye illegally some time ago.

CAUGHT AT HIS MOTHER'S HOUSE

While investigating places where the suspect might stay, teams from the Wanted Persons Bureau identified the address where his mother lives in Büyükçekmece. Ömer G., who was determined during the work to occasionally visit this house, was detained in an operation. When he was caught, a fake identity document issued in someone else's name was found on the suspect.

HE HAD BEEN WANTED SINCE 2014

It was determined that the suspect, who was brought to the Public Order Branch Directorate, sexually abused a child in 2007 and therefore entered Silivri Prison in 2011. It was learned that the fugitive convict, who was transferred to Kırklareli Open Prison in 2014, escaped from there. It was learned that Ömer G., who sexually abused another child in Küçükçekmece in 2017, fled illegally first to Greece and then to Germany the same year. It was stated that Ömer G., who applied for asylum in Germany, escaped from the refugee camp after his request was rejected and came to Istanbul illegally.

Ömer G., who had a finalized 6-year prison sentence for the crime of sexual abuse of two separate children, was referred to the courthouse for processing.
