The police services in Marrakech have apprehended a 35-year-old French national of Algerian descent on April 30, 2026, who was found to be in an irregular situation in the country and was subject to an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities. This arrest took place in the city of Marrakech following a notification that the individual was listed in the database of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) under a red notice. This designation indicates that he is the subject of international dissemination and a request for arrest by French authorities due to his alleged involvement in passport forgery and its circulation on an international scale.
Upon verification, it was confirmed that he was present in Morocco in violation of the current legislation, and his identification was corroborated by international files. Under the supervision of the competent prosecutor's office, the procedure led to his detention while awaiting the examination of the extradition request. The accused has been subjected to detention measures as part of the extradition process, while the Interpol National Central Bureau in Rabat, which is part of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), notified its French counterpart to initiate the extradition procedures.
This arrest underscores the ongoing commitment of specialized services in Morocco to apprehend individuals sought internationally in transnational crime cases.
