Moroccan security forces at Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport successfully arrested an Indian national on Monday evening, acting on an international arrest warrant issued by Saudi judicial authorities, according to official sources.
The 45-year-old suspect, was flagged through a database check conducted by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). The check revealed that he is the subject of an international wanted notice, issued under a “red notice” by the central national office in Riyadh. The warrant is related to his alleged involvement in a breach of trust case, as reported by the security source.
It is suspected that the individual took advantage of his position as a project manager in a commercial establishment, embezzling a substantial sum exceeding 2.5 million Saudi riyals (over MAD 6.6 million) before departing Saudi Arabia.
Upon apprehension, the suspect has been placed in custody pending referral to the competent prosecutor. The national central office, operating under the General Directorate of National Security, has been entrusted with notifying its Saudi Arabian counterpart about the arrest. This notification is part of the extradition procedure.
The operation underscores the commitment to strengthen international cooperation in various security domains. It also highlights the persistent efforts of Moroccan security services in tracking down foreign individuals wanted on an international scale, particularly in cases tied to transnational criminal activities.
