Mohamud's diplomatic car collided with a motorcycle courier, Yunus Emre Gocer, on a highway in Istanbul on November 30th. Gocer died six days later, leading to charges of "causing death by negligence" against Mohamud.

An arrest warrant was issued for Mohamud, but he reportedly left Türkiye before authorities could take him into custody. He only returned last week to testify and face the court.

An arrest warrant had been issued for Mohamud following the incident, but he had already left Türkiye. He reportedly returned to the country last week to provide testimony about the accident.

After his statement to court officials, the arrest warrant and travel ban were revoked, leading to his release. (ILKHA)
