The suspect was arrested in Casablanca as part of a well-organized security operation aimed at identifying and locating all the places where the accused could find refuge in several Moroccan cities, according to a press release from the Directorate General of National Security (DGSN).
According to preliminary information, the French citizen was wanted internationally under a Red Notice issued by Interpol, at the request of French judicial authorities, who suspected him of leading a number of criminal networks involved in international drug trafficking and money laundering.
The suspect was taken into custody before being presented on Saturday morning before the competent public prosecutor’s office in Casablanca, as part of the extradition procedure, according to the same source.
This arrest is the culmination of security cooperation and intelligence exchange between the DGSN and the French National Police, in line with international cooperation mechanisms in the security field.
