French Fugitive Arrested in Morocco on International Warrant

The individual, aged 25, was illegally in Morocco and was in possession of a false passport. His arrest is part of international security cooperation and the efforts deployed by the Moroccan security services to track down people wanted internationally for cross-border crimes.

The check 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. The arrest warrant concerned a conviction for a prison sentence for attempted murder.

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