Former Turkish mafia leader threatens to kill European leaders

50-year-old Sedat Peker has recently emerged as a social media sensation, with his disclosures about alleged high-level criminal activities in Turkey, including corruption, rape, murder, and drug trafficking.

Peker is no Mother Teresa. He’s been a member of the Turkish mafia and has spent more than ten years in prison over various charges.

“To those who say why should we believe you, you aren’t clean yourself, I say, of course, you will learn about this dirt from me. I am dirty too. I’m not a savior or messiah. I’m doing this because for personal reasons,” he says.

Peker has been known for his Turkish ultra-nationalist views for a long time and, in his latest videos, he has used ultra-nationalist jargon and symbols.

He was given the “most philanthropic businessman” award in 2017 in Turkey. In addition, he appears in many photos and videos with Turkish politicians from the ruling party, including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

He has arranged many political rallies on behalf of the government and was a regular face at high society events in Turkey.
