Moroccan authorities arrested an Ivorian citizen wanted by the French judicial authorities and Interpol for crimes of money laundering, fraud, forgery, and hacking of bank data.
The arrest was made this Tuesday, November 30, in the city of Fez.
According to Spanish news outlet EFE, the 27-year-old detainee was arrested by police while staying at a hotel, while being subject to an Interpol red notice for multiple financial crimes.
Moroccan authorities alerted their French counterparts of the arrest and the fugitive was placed in custody, pending extradition proceedings.
Moroccan authorities have multiplied their efforts in pursuing internationally wanted criminals on its territory in recent months.
As recently as last week, Moroccan forces arrested a French Algerian fugitive, who was planning to escape to Turkey via Morocco.
