On Saturday, October 25, airport security at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca arrested a 24-year-old French national of Algerian descent. He is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities.
According to a security source, upon the suspect’s arrival at the Casablanca airport, a check against the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) database revealed that he was wanted internationally based on a red notice issued by the National Central Bureau in Paris. He is suspected of being affiliated with a criminal gang and unlawfully possessing explosive materials.
The individual was placed under provisional detention in accordance with the directives of the competent public prosecutor, pending extradition procedures. The National Central Bureau, “Interpol Rabat,” operated by the Directorate General of National Security, has been tasked with notifying its French counterpart about the arrest.
This arrest is part of international cooperation efforts in security matters and ongoing Moroccan security initiatives to pursue individuals wanted on international charges related to transnational crime.
