“The foreign suspect was arrested after an Interpol database check showed that he was the subject of a Red Notice issued at the request of the French judicial authorities to carry out prison sentences, after his involvement in the trafficking of cocaine and participation in a murder as part of the settling of scores between drug trafficking gangs in France,” Hespress sources said.
In addition to the international search warrants issued against the arrested foreigner, the same sources confirmed that the suspect is suspected of being involved in forgery and its use, after the search operation carried out at his home in Marrakech at the time of his arrest resulted in the seizure of forged French and foreign identity documents bearing his identification information.
Hespress sources added that the suspect was taken into custody pending the investigation supervised by the competent public prosecution, in order to investigate the forgery and use part of the case; while the National Central Bureau “Interpol Rabat Office” of the General Directorate of National Security was assigned to notify its counterpart in France of the arrest pending the extradition process.
The arrest of the suspect comes in the context of international security cooperation, as well as the efforts made by Moroccan security services to pursue internationally wanted persons in cases of transnational crime.
