I don't think that was the story.he fled to Cyprus and escaped prison there. Someone somehow got him to believe the app is safe, he took kickbacks for the distribution, even. My main question is, how is this man living free in Turkey despite there being an interpol warrant?

If he is living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is actually a different country than Turkey and not recognized by other countries, it would be nearly impossible to extradite him without Turkey's cooperation.

I doubt that Turkey would extradite her own citizen as well.

Living free in Turkey doesn't necessarily mean he isn't in hiding, and/or hasn't paid off enough locals to be protected from extradition or capture.
