Dutch Police Seek Moroccan Suspect in Amsterdam Drug Dealer Murder

It is, according to the police statement, the one named Ismail El Bekkali, of Moroccan origin. 21 years old, the individual, who has been on the run since last May, was identified thanks to the surveillance cameras. At the time of the shooting, he was in the vicinity of the victim. He left on his motorcycle just after the incident.

Two months later, Ismail El Bekkali was escorted to Marbella, in southern Spain, adds the police statement, which seems to have lost track of the suspect since then. In fact, the investigators, who have issued an international arrest warrant, are hesitating between Spain and Morocco where his family is.

Omar Essaleh, a 29-year-old man well known in the smuggling environment under the name "Centjes", was murdered by unknown persons, on the night of May 2. His body was found riddled with bullets on the Docklands square, east of Amsterdam.
