The National Judicial Police Brigade arrested, yesterday, Faisal Bahloul, who was known on social media as “Boukhnuna”, for inciting terrorist acts against Moroccan citizens.
Hespress sources said that the National Judicial Police Brigade arrested Faisal Bahloul at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca at midday on Tuesday, November 16, immediately after his arrival on a flight from Madrid Barajas Airport.
Faysal Bahloul had appeared in several recordings posted on social media threatening Moroccans, as he had been publishing digital contents that incite the Polisario militia to subject Moroccans to physical violence and terrorist acts.
Following the violence-inciting videos of Bahloul, Moroccan authorities opened judicial investigations about the extremist and launched international arrest warrants against the so-called “Boukhnuna.”
The Spanish authorities had arrested Bahloul on March 31, as he was charged with “incitement to commit terrorist acts against Moroccan institutions in Spain and abroad.”
“The person concerned was extremist, and was using accounts on social networks to incite terrorist acts against Moroccan people and institutions in Spain and abroad,” the Spanish police said at the time.
Hespress was unable to verify if Bahloul’s arrival to Casablanca was the result of the implementation of the extradition procedure in the framework of bilateral agreements linking Morocco with Spain in the areas of security and international judicial cooperation.
It is expected that Faisal Bahloul will be trialed in the Public Prosecution in charge of crimes of terrorism and extremism in Rabat, as soon as the preliminary research is conducted by the National Judicial Police, in this case, is done.
