Wedding Plans in New York
Alina Habba, 42, is set to marry Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon, 29, on Saturday, September 26, in New York, according to Türkiye Today and Modern.az. Mildon confirmed the relationship and said he and Habba met in the United States through a mutual friend who was serving as an ambassador, before their relationship developed into a decision to marry.
Mildon pushed back against claims that the marriage was intended to establish political ties, saying, "This marriage has no political purpose." Modern.az reported that the wedding venue has not been disclosed and that Habba and Mildon did not respond to its request for comment regarding the news.
Habba Background and Court Ruling
Habba previously represented Donald Trump in several legal cases between 2021 and 2024, and she later served as a White House adviser before being appointed in March 2025 to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey on an interim basis, according to Türkiye Today.
A court ruled her appointment unlawful, and Türkiye Today described Habba as a former personal lawyer and adviser to U.S.
Habba led the federal prosecutor's office in New Jersey in 2025 and left the post in December of that year after a federal appeals court deemed her appointment to the position illegal.
Trump appointed Habba, 42, as acting US attorney for the District of New Jersey last year, and the court ruling unlawful led to her resignation in December.
Miller Holding, Congo and Venezuela
Turhan Mildon is the CEO of Miller Holding and vice chairman of Çorum FK, and Türkiye Today described him as a close ally of Turkey's right-wing president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Mildon's holding company received construction contracts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo worth a total of about $1 billion since 2021, and the company began operating in the local mining sector.
Mildon was developing business in Venezuela and gave up projects in the oil, chemical, and mining sectors, focusing on cement production, to avoid violating American law. Mildon has companies that secured major projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo and expanded into Venezuela, while his public profile in Turkey is described as limited.
