Security vigilance ends the flight of an internationally wanted French national in Casablanca

National security officers operating at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca apprehended a 23-year-old French national on the morning of Wednesday, October 7, as he was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities.

Interpol database reveals Red Notice for the suspect

Informed sources stated that running a routine check on the detainee against the database of the International Criminal Police Organization «Interpol» confirmed that he was internationally wanted. The search was based on a Red Notice issued at the request of the National Central Bureau in Paris, due to suspected involvement in a serious criminal case concerning attempted intentional murder.

Details of the case under investigation in France

According to preliminary data available on the file, the detained French citizen is suspected of participating in an attempted murder carried out with a firearm. Official information indicates that the criminal acts date back to 2025 in Paris, and coordination is currently underway with the relevant authorities to determine all circumstances and facts related to the case.

Extradition procedures and international security coordination

Immediately following the arrest, the individual was subjected to extradition procedures under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office, which ordered the necessary legal measures. In a related context, the National Central Bureau ‘Interpol Rabat’, part of the General Directorate of National Security, was tasked with notifying French security authorities of the arrest to complete the ongoing bilateral procedures.

This operation is part of the strengthening of international cooperation in security matters, and underscores the tireless efforts exerted by Moroccan security services to track down individuals wanted internationally for organized and cross-border crimes.
