One of Australia's most wanted men who has evaded police for more than a decade is one step closer to being captured after his assets were frozen.
Fugitive Hakan Ayik remains on the run in Turkey but authorities are closing in.
Hundreds of bank accounts, homes, properties and companies that are owned by dual-Australian citizens have been obtained in Turkey.
Their owners, many of which who have ties to the underworld, have been told to prove how they were legally obtained.
Among the assets that have been frozen is the Kings Cross Hotel in Istanbul, which is part-owned by Ayik and a location he has been known to frequent.
