French Citizen of Tunisian Origin Arrested at Marrakech Airport Under International Warrant

National security forces at Marrakech-Menara Airport arrested a 40-year-old French citizen of Tunisian origin early Tuesday morning. The suspect was subject to an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities.

According to a security source, the individual was apprehended after a check in Interpol’s database confirmed that he was internationally wanted. He is suspected of involvement in an international drug and psychotropic substance trafficking case.

The suspect has been placed in custody as part of the extradition process, while French authorities have been notified of his arrest to initiate the necessary procedures for his transfer.

This arrest falls within the framework of international security cooperation and Morocco’s ongoing efforts to track down individuals wanted globally for transnational crimes.
