Moroccan security forces in Tangier have arrested a French national of Algerian descent who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities.

According to a statement released Wednesday by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the suspect is accused of involvement in a kidnapping, unlawful confinement, and death threats linked to a dispute between international drug trafficking networks.

The arrest took place in Tangier following a coordinated operation between Morocco’s National Security services and Interpol. The suspect has been placed in provisional custody pending extradition procedures to France, in accordance with bilateral judicial cooperation agreements between Rabat and Paris.

Authorities said the operation is part of Morocco’s ongoing efforts to combat transnational organized crime and strengthen international security cooperation.
