French Nationals Arrested at Moroccan Airport for Fake COVID-19 Test Results

About ten people, including at least two French, were arrested by the security services at Agadir-Al Massira airport on Tuesday, March 30. They were about to board for France, with falsified PCR tests.

The seven other people arrested are dual nationals, including Moroccans holding French nationality. They all planned to take the plane to Paris, with fake PCR tests, reports Agadir24.

The Moroccan authorities had announced the day before the suspension of flights to France and Spain due to the spread and transmission of the new coronavirus and its new strains.

To facilitate the departure of tourists stranded in Morocco, the authorities gave them the possibility of being tested directly within the airport premises.
