Morocco arrests French Guinean suspect wanted by Interpol at Casablanca airport

National Security officers at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca have arrested a 39-year-old French citizen of Guinean origin who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the Guinean judicial authorities.

The suspect was apprehended upon arriving on a flight from Brussels after checks against the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) database revealed that he was wanted under a red notice issued at the request of Guinea in connection with a case involving fraud, swindling, and breach of trust.

According to available information, the man has been placed under extradition procedures under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office. The National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat, operating under the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), has also notified its Guinean counterpart of the arrest as part of the legal process required for his extradition.
