Bulgarian Suspect in Spanish Money Laundering Case Arrested at Casablanca Airport

A 40-year-old Bulgarian citizen was arrested at the Mohammed V airport in Casablanca on Saturday, August 12, as part of a red notice issued by Spain concerning a money laundering case.

The arrest occurred as the man was about to board a flight to an Arab country, suspecting him of being involved in a banking fraud.

The detention of the suspect is currently ongoing, pending a decision on his extradition, in accordance with the request of the Spanish judicial authorities. "This act is part of the efforts made by the General Directorate of National Security to strengthen international cooperation in the fight against cross-border crime," a statement said.
