He advised Boze to bribe the paşa and the turnacı sent to Kandiye to execute the banishment of the 18b to Benefşe, as the latter resists leaving. He corresponded with the paşa and was informed that the latter came to terms with the Janisaries.
He orchestrates the actions that will be taken against the 18b, by corresponding with Boze and the French ambassador in Istanbul
