Spanish police have arrested a Moroccan man listed on Interpol’s red notice of internationally wanted fugitives, during a routine inspection aboard a ferry operating between Málaga and the Melilla enclave.
According to Spanish media reports, the arrest was carried out by a mobile police unit during a security check onboard the vessel. The individual was reportedly the subject of an active international arrest warrant issued by Moroccan authorities on July 3, requesting his extradition.
Authorities said the suspect drew officers’ attention by acting nervously and avoiding eye contact during the inspection. Police proceeded to verify his identity and discovered that he was flagged by Interpol under a red notice, an alert requesting the location and arrest of a wanted person pending extradition.
The operation took place as part of reinforced security measures linked to Spain’s annual “Operation Crossing the Strait,” which increases surveillance and border checks between Europe and North Africa during the busy summer travel season.
Following the verification of the warrant, the man was arrested, informed of his legal rights, and the reasons behind his detention. He was then transferred to a local police station and placed under the jurisdiction of judicial authorities, who will oversee the extradition process in accordance with international treaties and applicable laws.
