"I thank our Moroccan friends who recently arrested 16 individuals involved in serious criminal acts," he declared, citing in particular organized drug trafficking.

Since dual nationals cannot be extradited, official denunciations have been transmitted so they can be prosecuted and tried by Moroccan authorities, according to Gérald Darmanin.
