Incident in Marrakech Leads to Arrest of Two French Citizens
On August 15, 2026, authorities at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, in collaboration with local law enforcement from Marrakech, apprehended two French nationals, aged 26 and 28, suspected of involvement in a tragic road accident that resulted in a fatality. The incident, which occurred in Marrakech, involved a collision with a motorcycle that led to the death of the motorcyclist and severe injuries to his passenger. Following the accident, the suspects attempted to evade justice by fleeing the scene in a different vehicle, a move that was captured in a video circulated via mobile messaging apps.
The subsequent investigation allowed authorities to identify the suspects before they could leave Morocco on an outbound flight. They were intercepted at the airport as they attempted to exit the country and have since been placed under judicial investigation by the Marrakech judicial police. This investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the appropriate prosecutor to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the case and to ascertain all criminal actions associated with the incident.
