14 charged over aiding mafia boss

Prosecutors on Tuesday formally charged the 14, including Kasif Kozinoglu, a senior member of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) and Sinan Engin, a former manager of the Istanbul-based Besiktas football club, with assisting Cakici to leave Turkey, only hours before a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Cakici was later arrested in Austria while carrying false papers and deported to Turkey last month. He is set to face a series of charges, including murder and organising a criminal gang.
