Hakan Atilla, the former deputy director-general at Turkish state lender Halkbank, is expected to land in Istanbul on Wednesday
A vehicle belonging to security officials and FCI Schuylkill federal prison is seen on July 19, 2019 in Pennsylvania, the United States where reportedly Mehmet Hakan Atilla, 48, the former deputy director-general at Turkish state lender Halkbank, was released Friday from the prison.
After his release from a federal US prison last week, a former Turkish banking executive has left New York's JFK airport for repatriation to Turkey. However, the judge allowed the time he had served after being arrested a year earlier to be credited in the sentence, and his release on July 19 was announced earlier due to good behaviour.An official Anadolu Agency contacted from the prison confirmed that Atilla was handed over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
Atilla’s arrest came after Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab was arrested in 2016 in the US for violating sanctions on Iran.Source: AA
