Swedish Authorities Praise Morocco's Security Cooperation Following Arrest of Wanted National
The judicial police in Tangier, Morocco, successfully apprehended a Swedish national who was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice due to his alleged involvement in multiple violent crimes. This arrest has been positively acknowledged by Swedish authorities, who have emphasized the effectiveness of their security cooperation with Morocco's General Directorate of National Security (DGSN).
The operation, which took place on September 17, 2026, was executed following a formal request from the Swedish judicial authorities. The suspect had been wanted for serious criminal activities in Sweden, and his capture marks a significant achievement in international law enforcement collaboration.
Petra Lundh, the national police commissioner of Sweden, expressed her appreciation for the close cooperation between Swedish and Moroccan security services. In a statement shared on social media, she highlighted the effectiveness of communication and collaboration with Moroccan authorities, particularly with the DGSN, which has been crucial in enhancing coordination in security matters.
Lundh further underscored the importance of international cooperation in combating organized crime, noting that the exchange of information and strategic coordination among security agencies can significantly improve efforts to apprehend fugitives and restrict their capacity to evade justice across borders. She extended her gratitude to the Moroccan police for their "excellent and effective" collaboration, along with recognition for the various Swedish officials who played a role in facilitating this operation.
