Rabat – A 38-year-old French-Algerian man, wanted under an international arrest warrant, was apprehended Monday evening by Moroccan security forces in the Chrifia area of Marrakech.
The arrest follows a successful operation that linked the suspect to an international money laundering network.
The individual was identified after a cross-check with Interpol’s global database, which showed that he was the subject of a Red Notice issued at the request of the Paris National Central Bureau.
The notice was issued due to his suspected involvement in a criminal organization focused on money laundering activities across borders.
After being arrested, the suspect was placed in police custody and is awaiting formal charges.
His detention is part of a broader effort by Moroccan authorities to tackle transnational crime.
The National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat, under the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), has officially informed French authorities about the arrest. This sets the stage for a potential extradition process, depending on further legal proceedings.
This operation underlines Morocco’s commitment to international law enforcement cooperation.
In recent years, Moroccan authorities have significantly intensified their efforts to track down individuals sought for crimes beyond national borders.
With such initiatives, the country continues to play an active role in global efforts to combat organized crime and maintain international security.
