Moroccan police have arrested a 34-year-old French national who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities, officials said Tuesday.
The suspect was detained in the northern city of Tangier by officers from Morocco’s National Judicial Police Brigade. A background check through Interpol’s database showed he was wanted internationally under a Red Notice issued at the request of France’s National Central Bureau in Paris.
French authorities suspect the man of links to an organized crime network involved in international drug trafficking, according to Moroccan police.
The suspect has been placed under extradition proceedings at the request of the competent prosecutor. Morocco’s National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat has notified its French counterpart of the arrest.
The operation is part of Morocco’s ongoing cooperation with international law enforcement agencies to track down and arrest individuals wanted in cross-border crime cases.
