Interpol to turn 64 fugitive Muslim Brothers over to Egypt, mostly from Qatar, Turkey& Europe

Cairo – A security source asserted that the International Criminal Police Organization – INTERPOL will start handing over a number of fugitive terrorist leaders residing abroad, to Egypt. The source pointed that  the process will begin a list of 64 leaders living in Qatar, Turkey and a number of European countries.
Three years ago, Interpol issued “red notice” arrest warrants for more than 40 senior Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated figures, including the head of the Doha-based International Union of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. A red notice seeks “the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action.”

Qaradawi is charged with incitement and assistance to commit murder, helping the prisoners to escape, arson, vandalism and theft.

According to the source: Through concerned bodies, International Cooperation Office affiliated to Egypt's Attorney General, has sent lists of the judicially wanted suspects of violence instigation, including Muslim Brotherhood leaders, who were monitored by security  in Egypt, by preparing files including defendants’ names and their locations abroad. Those files are to be addressed to the concerned authorities to carry out the habeas corpus decisions issued against them by Egypt's  authorities.

The Egyptian prosecution attached a reasoned memorandum to the judicial authorities with each name of the wanted. There have also been attached Red Notices against 50 fugitive Muslim Brotherhood leaders who were condemned by judicial sentences or against whom the general prosecutor issued habeas corpus. Salah Abdel-Maksoud, Assem Abdel-Maged, Wagdy Ghoneim, Tarek Al-Zomar and Mohamed Abdel-Maksoud are on the top of those Red Notices.  That coincides with news about the Brotherhood preparations for departure from Turkey and looking for other capitals to move to, probably in Malaysia and South Africa.

In November 2016, Egypt addressed Interpol with a request to put three TV hosts (live in Turkey) on the list of wanted suspects upon arrival at international ports of entry.

TV hosts Moataz Matar, Hisham Abdullah, and Mohamed Nasser were sentenced to three years in prison for charges of incitement against the state. The verdict came in absentia.
