Rabat – On Saturday, June 14, Marrakech police, in collaboration with the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), arrested a French national of Malian origin on an international warrant issued by French judicial authorities.
According to a statement released by Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the suspect is wanted in connection with the execution of a prison sentence for international drug trafficking as part of a criminal gang, as stated in the agency’s official X post.
The individual was confirmed to be under the international warrant through an Interpol database check, which revealed he is also wanted for money laundering in addition to criminal drug activities.
Following his arrest, the suspect was placed under pre-extradition detention. French judicial authorities have been formally notified and are expected to send an official request from Paris to proceed.
This is a continuing part of Morocco’s strong presence contributing to Interpol’s work in global security. Interpol President Ahmed Naser Al Raisi has previously lauded the country’s efforts, describing their active involvement in more than a dozen Interpol-led projects as “exceptional.”
Morocco has established itself as a key security partner on the international stage, regularly offering intelligence support to assist foreign authorities in tracking and apprehending wanted individuals.
