Interpol-Wanted Franco-Algerian Arrested in Morocco for Fraud and Identity Theft

End of the run for a Franco-Algerian subject to an Interpol red notice. According to the Directorate General of National Security (DGSN), he was arrested by the Agadir police. The suspect is accused of fraud and identity theft. Another charge: concealment of "income from theft operations committed in several French cities". This operation is part of the cooperation between the French and Moroccan security services.

This cooperation is making notable progress. Morocco, through the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), recently helped France thwart an attack in Béziers by providing information on a French woman of Moroccan origin, who was about to attack a church in Montpellier. The 18-year-old woman was located and then arrested. Three of her sisters, including a minor, and her mother were also arrested.
