Wanted Criminals Extradition Morocco Europe Interpol

Despite the severity of European accusations, the three Belgian-Moroccans targeted by Belgian justice will remain on Moroccan soil. As reported by the newspaper La Dernière Heure, authorities consider any holder of dual nationality exclusively as a Moroccan citizen. These suspects will therefore be tried locally and according to Moroccan law. Currently held in custody, they are being questioned "on the criminal acts alleged against them in the context of official foreign complaints," the police clarify.

A French national targeted by an arrest warrant issued by the National Judicial Police Brigade completes this list. In total, ten of these arrests stem from red notices issued by Interpol.
