Thursday 3 December 2020 - 10:11

The Spanish Senate on Wednesday adopted the convention between Morocco and Spain on cooperation in security issues and the fight against crime.

The convention, which received the green light from the Spanish Council of Ministers on September 8, responds to the concern – shared by the two countries – regarding the scale of criminal phenomena and the security challenges posed by human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and new manifestations of transnational organized crime.

The agreement regulates the most important aspects in the field of cooperation, specifying the crimes encompassing such cooperation, according to the Spanish government.

Adopted on October 19 by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Congress of Deputies, the convention highlights the provisions relating to the fight against organized crime, with specific reference to terrorism, as well as to cooperation in the framework of operational activities and investigation of different forms of crime, according to the same source.
