He was previously detained and released in Czechia

Following Turkey's request, Salih Müslim was taken into custody in Czechia's capital city of Prague on February 25, 2018. Although it was claimed that he was sought with Red Notice, it was then uncovered that there was no international Red Notice issued for Müslim. Despite the 16 to 40 days detention and extradition requests issued by Turkey, the court ruled on February 27 that Salih Müslim shall be released on the condition that he does not leave the borders of European Union countries.
