French-Algerian Fugitive Wanted for Drug Trafficking Arrested in Morocco

This arrest is part of the international cooperation on security and the efforts made by the Moroccan security services to track down people wanted internationally for cross-border crimes.

The control of the suspect in the Interpol database revealed that he was the subject of a red notice issued at the request of the National Central Bureau of Paris. He is wanted by the French justice system for his alleged involvement in an international drug trafficking operation between 2019 and 2024, as well as for money laundering of funds from this criminal activity.

After his arrest, the Franco-Algerian was taken into custody. Morocco will inform the French authorities of his arrest, which will pave the way for a possible extradition.
