London Gang Leader Assassinated in Moldovan Caf? in Suspected Professional Hit CHISINAU, Moldova - ?zzet Eren, a notorious figure in London's criminal underworld and a senior leader of the gang known as the Tottenham Turks, was fatally shot in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. The incident occurred on Wednesday while Eren was seated at a caf? terrace in the Riscani district. According to local authorities, an individual on an electric scooter approached the caf?, discharged multiple rounds, and fatally struck Eren in the head before fleeing the scene. Moldovan police, highlighting the rarity of such drive-by shootings in the country, described the murder as a professionally executed hit. Eren, 41, had a well-documented history of criminal activity, including a 21-year sentence in the UK for firearms offenses. In 2019, he was transferred to a Turkish prison, only to escape a month later. Since his escape, Eren had been living as a fugitive and was briefly detained by Moldovan authorities in May 2022. At the time of his death, he was free pending extradition proceedings to the UK. Dating back to the 1990s, Eren's criminal endeavors included involvement in drug-related assaults and homicides. He was associated with the 1994 murder of Mehmet Kayg?s?z and an assassination attempt on Nafiz Bostanc?, both allegedly linked to Nurettin G?ven, a close associate of controversial Turkish figures like the former interior minister and police chief, Mehmet A?ar. A?ar has faced allegations of participating in state-sponsored killings and narcotics trafficking. Investigations in recent years have suggested potential links between Turkey's intelligence operations and the intense gang wars in London, speculating that these clashes might have been utilized as cover for extrajudicial killings of Turkish dissidents abroad. The Tottenham Turks, along with their rivals the Hackney Bombacilar, have been central figures in the violent struggle for dominance over the UK's heroin market. The gang war, spanning decades, has seen numerous fatalities and acts of violence, including the dramatic rise of H?seyin Bayba?in, often referred to as the "Pablo Escobar of Europe", who significantly influenced heroin trade routes from Afghanistan since the 1970s. Further complicating the investigation, Eren's cousin Kemal Eren, also remains at large, implicated in assorted violent offences in the UK. Authorities are now probing the specifics of ?zzet Eren's presence in Moldova and the circumstances that allowed him to remain free even with a pending extradition order. Following the shooting, Moldovan law enforcement swiftly released security footage featuring the suspected perpetrator, who was notably wearing a protective helmet, as part of ongoing investigations. The crime raises concerns about potential retaliatory violence in London where gang-related activities have previously resulted in harm to civilians, including a tragic incident involving a young child earlier in the year. Eren's murder adds to a string of violent incidents involving members of the Tottenham Turks. Past occurrences include the 2013 killing of Zafer Eren and the more recent death of Koray Alpergin in Tottenham, signaling a persisting cycle of violence within these notorious gangs. The Moldovan Interior Ministry, in coordination with international law enforcement agencies, continues to hunt for the assailant as tensions in London's underworld potentially escalate following this high-profile assassination.
