Casablanca: A Franco-Tunisian wanted by Interpol arrested upon disembarking from his flight

The police services of the Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca apprehended on Monday a 24-year-old Franco-Tunisian national. Subject to an international arrest warrant issued by France, he is suspected of cocaine trafficking and illegal possession of firearms.

The suspect was apprehended as soon as he disembarked from a flight from Tunis. The verification of his identity in the database of the International Criminal Police Organization revealed that he was actively being sought by the central office in Paris.

The French judicial authorities are demanding this individual for his alleged involvement in a criminal network. The serious charges against him specifically target the marketing of narcotics, as well as the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

In accordance with the instructions of the public prosecutor’s office, the suspect was immediately subjected to the extradition procedure. At the same time, the Interpol office in Rabat was expressly tasked with notifying this arrest to its French counterpart to finalize the legal handover.
