A French father is appealing to Moroccan and French authorities after his 30-year-old son, Clément Besneville, went missing under unclear circumstances in Rabat over a year ago, according to AFP.
The young French national, who has not been heard from since April 2024, had recently moved to the Moroccan capital with plans to open a pizzeria. He disappeared on April 10, 2024, around 10:30 p.m.
His family reported him missing on April 25 at a gendarmerie in Seine-et-Marne in France. Moroccan police later confirmed that an investigation was underway, and that all of Besneville’s personal belongings—including his ID, phone, laptop, glasses, and cash—were found in his apartment.
In July 2024, the case was transferred to the National Brigade of the Judicial Police (BNPJ) in Casablanca.
According to his father, Didier Besneville, Moroccan investigators assured him recently that the investigation is still ongoing. Meanwhile, a separate complaint was filed in France in March 2025 for kidnapping and unlawful confinement.
The same source mentioned that the French public prosecutor in Melun stated that elements of the case have been shared with Moroccan authorities through formal international legal cooperation.
“I want to find my son. And I feel like no one cares,” said the French father, who says he has written to both President Emmanuel Macron and King Mohammed VI.
He also reached out to the National Tiphaine Association for the Search of Missing Persons Abroad (Antred), a French association that supports families of missing persons abroad.
“I have no support at all,” he added, saying he has been focused solely on the case for the past 14 months, according to the same source.
