Hakan Ayik flees to Cyprus Hakan Ayik and Facebook: "ONE of Australia's most wanted men - the alleged drug lord Hakan Ayik - has fled custody in Cyprus after being briefly detained by border police.
Mr Ayik has been on the run since August when NSW Police issued a warrant for his arrest after a two-year organised crime investigation, called Operation Hoffman.
Despite the setback, the Australian Federal Police have landed a blow against the Ayik syndicate.

The arrest came after a request from the AFP and the federal Attorney-General's Department, which wants to extradite Mr Ho to Australia to face charges over the alleged importation of 50 kilograms of ice.
Police have said that Mr Ho and Mr Ayik have been linked to multiple drug importations into Sydney and Melbourne over the past three years.
Hoffman, a landmark investigation led by the Australian Crime Commission co-operating with most of the nation's federal and state policing agencies, temporarily shut down the local end of an international drugs ring with links to the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle club, Chinese triads and corrupt police, prison guards and waterfront workers."
