Moroccan National Security Forces at Mohammed V International Airport have reportedly arrested a 34-year-old Algerian-French citizen, subject to an international arrest warrant.

According to an informed source from Hespress, the fugitive was arrested on the outskirts of Casablanca and was heading to Algiers via Istanbul, Turkey.

According to the red notice issued by Interpol, the case surrounds two brothers, shot by a motorway leading to French city Marseille, dating back to August of the year 2020. One of the brothers has passed, while the second was severely injured.
