An Algerian migrant residing illegally in Germany was deported Monday after falsely claiming Moroccan nationality to avoid repatriation to Algeria, according to well-informed Hespress AR sources.

The individual, whose name was not disclosed, was apprehended by German authorities and presented identification belonging to a Moroccan citizen, officials said. Believing the claim to be valid, German authorities deported him to Marrakech Menara Airport.

A three-member unit from the German Federal Police escorted the man to Morocco, where he was received by Moroccan law enforcement.

Upon arrival, authorities conducted an identity verification process using the country’s citizen databases. It was then confirmed that the individual was not Moroccan but an Algerian national who had fraudulently assumed a false identity.

“The verification process clearly established that the deported individual was not a Moroccan citizen but an Algerian migrant who unlawfully used Moroccan identity documents,” the source said.

Following the discovery, the migrant was held at Marrakech Menara Airport while arrangements were made to return him to Germany. German authorities are expected to initiate the proper deportation procedures to repatriate him to Algeria, officials said.
