Due to the fact that under the Turkish law so called "Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus" does not have jurisdiction over so called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" Akin was released by Turkish authorities despite being wanted for murder by Interpol, which prompted a question on Turkey's judicial cooperation by Dimitrios Papadimoulis of the European Parliament.
Under Turkish law, where "Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus" lacks jurisdiction over "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," Akin was released by Turkish authorities even though he was wanted for murder on Interpol's list. This development led to inquiries about Turkey’s judicial cooperation with Dimitrios Papadimoulis from the European Parliament.
