Moroccan authorities apprehended a 25-year-old French national of Malian descent on Saturday, November 7, near Agadir, following an international arrest warrant from France linked to a murder case.
The arrest occurred in the Al-Korsi neighborhood of Oulad Teima, with police relying on information from Morocco’s Territorial Surveillance Agency (DGST).
According to security sources, the suspect was confirmed through Interpol’s databases to be the subject of a Red Notice requested by French authorities as part of an investigation into intentional homicide.
The individual reportedly entered Morocco via the Nador border crossing on September 9. Authorities were able to track his movements through investigations that identified his location.
The suspect has been placed in custody at the direction of the public prosecutor’s office. The Interpol bureau in Rabat will inform its French counterpart about the arrest as preparations for extradition proceedings begin.
