Can I consent to extradition to the UK to speed up the process?

Turkish law permits simplified extradition where the individual consents to surrender, bypassing some procedural stages. If you waive your right to contest extradition before the Turkish court, the judicial review phase is significantly shortened, potentially reducing the overall timeline to 2–4 months. However, consent is irrevocable once given and waives most appeal rights. Before consenting, you must receive legal advice and appear before a judge who verifies that your consent is informed and voluntary. This option may be strategic if you wish to resolve UK charges quickly and have no viable defence grounds in Turkey.
