Rabat 0 Moroccan law enforcement arrested on Thursday a 19-year-old Swedish citizen, who was the subject of an international arrest warrant.
The arrest took place at the checkpoint of the Spanish enclave Ceuta on Thursday. The Interpol database showed that the National Central Bureau in Stockholm had issued a red notice against the suspect due to suspicions of his involvement in the possession of assault firearms for criminal purposes.
Police put the suspect under custody pending legal procedure.
Following the man’s arrest, the Moroccan National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat received instructions to notify Sweden about the arrest to start an extradition procedure.
The arrest is part of Morocco’s commitment to sustain its security cooperation.
Morocco has been cooperating with international partners by sharing intelligence information that enabled them to arrest suspects involved in different crimes.
In recent years, Interpol repeatedly emphasized the importance of cooperation with Morocco, commending its security contributions and participation in over a dozen projects under the auspices of the international police organization.
Just this past September, Interpol commended Morocco’s contribution to international security, touting the country’s participation in over a dozen projects under the auspices of the international police organization.
It also commended the unanimous choice of Morocco to host the 93rd General Assembly of Interpol in 2025 in Marrakech.
