Who is hakan, the man who led to the capture of nearly a thousand criminals?

Australian police have told local media that the person who unwittingly helped disseminate the coded message app was a fugitive named Hakan Ayik.

Suspected to be a drug lord himself, officials have said Mr. Ayik was identified as the leading influencer and given access by secret agents to the app, which was later recommended to his criminal colleagues, the BBC reports, translates Periscope.

“It was identified because it had important positions in the underworld,” said a senior investigator.

It has been reported that Ayik had lived in Turkey for years and that police have asked him to go public for his own good.
