Tangier’s judicial police on Tuesday arrested an individual who has been the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French authorities, accusing him of kidnapping, theft and rape.

According to a security source, the Moroccan 24-year-old suspect, who also holds French and Tunisian citizenships, was arrested after checking Interpol’s datababes, which showed he was the subject of a red notice.

According to preliminary data, the accused is suspected of having broken into the home of a woman whom he allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted before taking her personal belongings, the same source said, adding that the events took place on French soil in 2018.

The suspect has been remanded in custody for investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office in order to clarify the circumstances of the case and to establish all the offences of which he is accused, the source said.
