The Spanish Fugitius Active Research Group (GRAF) of the Mossos d’Esquadra, Catalonia’s autonomous police force, arrested a 46 years old individual following an arrest warrant issued by Morocco, for the alleged crimes of trafficking human beings and conducting irregular migration operations.

Morocco issued the international arrest warrant because the fugitive allegedly organized at least one irregular migration operation transporting various people in a motorboat from Morocco to Spain, charging about 1,000 euros per person.

The man was arrested on October 7 in Martorelle Barcelona when he was leaving his house at 7 a.m.

The Mosso police department previously launched an investigation that determined that the fugitive had numerous records of crimes against property and domestic abuse, reported Spanish media NIUS.

He was then sent to the Martorell court, where he electronically appealed to the Madrid Central Court of Instruction, which ordered him to go to jail until his pending extradition.
