Turkey's Immigration Police have handed over to Iran a notorious rapper named Amir Hossein Maghsoudlou, better known as Amir Tataloo.
According to The Iran Project, the Public Relations of Justice department of West Azerbaijan Province saysTataloo who was arrested in Turkey due to numerous private complaints, was handed over to Iran at the Bazargan border and was immediately arrested with a judicial order.
Earlier, Iranian media reported that Tataloo was arrested on the evening of December 2 following a complaint filed by the Iran’s Consulate in Istanbul.
Reportedly, the Iranian rapper was accused of "obscene behavior" toward consulate staff.
In 2019, Instagram banned his account due to the publication of anti-women content and the promotion of child marriage.
The tattoo-covered artist in his Instagram stories had claimed he planned to establish a "Haram" (Sultan's Palace) in Türkey, calling on Iranians in Istanbul to bring to him minor, underage girls for sexual relationships.
He is also linked to a huge gambling and betting network in Turkey which Iranian bloggers in that country mostly form.
