Background
Hüseyin Baybaşin is a brother of Abdullah Baybaşin.
Career
Hüseyin Baybaşin worked as an informer for UK Customs & Excise, since either late 1994 or early 1995, according to evidence brought before an immigration appeals tribunal. [1]
Baybasin Cartel
The Guardian reported in 2006 that police had estimated that the Baybasin Cartel was "notorious among law enforcement agencies across Europe", and "controlled up to 90% of the heroin which entered the country [UK] after its leading members settled in the home counties in the mid-1990s". It noted further that a Cartel member spoke of the UK becoming a "sanctuary" for the gang's leaders after a deal was struck with UK Customs & Excise.[1]
State Druglord Nexus
Sibel Edmonds has spoken about Baybaşin's connections with the Turkish Deep State.
UK
The Guardian reports that it "is unclear whether [UK] Customs was operating with ministerial approval" in collaborating with Baybaşin. Michael Howard, who was Home Secretary at the time, and Ann Widdecombe, the then UK Immigration Minister, both claim that they could not recall the name 'Baybaşin'.[1]
Turkey
In May 1996, while in jail on drug trafficking charges, Baybasin gave an interview to Aydınlık ("Illumination")[2], then a weekly magazine of the Workers' Party, the leading opposition group in Turkey. He explains that the heroin transports are controlled by former police chief and then-minister of the interior Mehmet Agar.[3] In another interview with the Volkskrant he explains that Turkish president Suleyman Demirel and prime minister Tansu Ciller are equally involved.[4]
