Sweden on Monday agreed to extradite to Türkiye a man convicted of drug trafficking who also supported the bloody-minded PKK terror group, a first since Stockholm's NATO bid was stalled by Ankara.
Türkiye has accused Sweden of being a haven for "terrorists," especially members of the PKK, and has asked Stockholm to extradite dozens of people.
The government has decided to "grant an extradition from Sweden regarding a 35-year-old citizen," Justice Ministry official Ashraf Ahmed told AFP, adding that Türkiye wants him to serve out a drug trafficking sentence.
