The police agents at Marrakech-Menara airport arrested, on Wednesday, a 39-year-old Algerian national, who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities in a case related to money laundering.

According to the preliminary information from the investigation, the control procedures of the Algerian national arrested in the database of the International Criminal Police Organization "Interpol" revealed that he is wanted under a red notice, issued at the request of the French justice system due to suspicions of his involvement in a money laundering case.

The individual was placed in custody pending his transfer to the competent prosecutor’s office, while the Rabat Interpol Office, under the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), was tasked with informing its French counterpart of the arrest and the extradition procedure.
