The individual was found in a state of numbness and joint pain. He was identified as a Moroccan-born adult male.
The man recovered after obtaining the appropriate first aid and the agents’ care.
The woman driving the car was of French nationality, told the service agents that the person found in the car was her brother, according to information provided by the Armed Institute spokeswoman.
The woman was brought before the court and charged with a crime against the rights of foreign nationals.
The suspected driver’s husband is also undergoing an investigation.
