Agadir – Moroccan security authorities arrested a 23-year-old French national at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca today, after an Interpol check found that he was wanted internationally under a Red Notice issued at the request of French authorities.
The suspect was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities, Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) said.
The Interpol database check showed that the man was wanted under a Red Notice issued at the request of the National Central Bureau in Paris over his alleged involvement in an attempted intentional homicide case.
According to preliminary investigation information, the suspect is allegedly linked to an attempted homicide involving a firearm. The incident reportedly took place in Paris in 2025.
Following his arrest, the suspect was placed under extradition proceedings ordered by the competent public prosecutor’s office.
Morocco’s National Central Bureau, known as Interpol Rabat and operating under the DGSN, notified its French counterpart of the arrest as part of the extradition process.
The arrest comes within the framework of international security cooperation and Moroccan authorities’ efforts to locate individuals wanted internationally in connection with cross-border crime.
