Greece’s Supreme Court is to render the final judgement on Turkey’s request for the extradition of eight Turkish army officers that fled after a failed coup in the country last July. The extradition request was denied by Greek appelate-level judges for five of the eight officers but the head of the appeals prosecutors Antonis Liogas has lodged appeals against these rulings.
The extradition was granted for three of the eight officers, who have also now appealed against the decision.
