Life

He taught at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki criminology and one of the founders of the Young Turk movement, which he provided substantial financial support.
After the Young Turks had come to power in 1908, Carasso was deputy for Thessaloniki in the Ottoman Parliament and led the delegation that in 1909 Sultan Abdulhamid II proclaimed his deposition. In 1912 he was a member of the parliamentary commission which negotiated the Treaty of Ouchy, which Italy and Turkey made peace after the Italian -Turkish War.
During the First World War Carasso was an advisor to the Turkish Government and received in recognition of his services export licenses for the export of Turkish products to Germany, which he acquired a considerable fortune.
With the assumption of power by Kemal Ataturk in 1923, Carasso fell into disgrace; his property was confiscated. He left Turkey and spent his last years in Trieste, where he died in 1934.
