Turkish authorities

A Turkish court has ordered the detention of the country's football refereeing chief pending a corruption trial. Seven officials are reported to face an investigation over allegations of corruption connected to refereeing in Turkish football. The case is being closely followed in Turkey, where disputes over refereeing decisions have long fuelled tension between clubs, fans and football authorities.

India has secured the deportation of Navpreet Singh, described as a narco-trafficking kingpin, from Turkey. News outlets report the extradition brings a wanted drug trafficker back into Indian custody, and it is being shared widely as breaking news. The move is seen as a success for Indian law enforcement cooperation with Turkish authorities.
