Police services in Casablanca have successfully apprehended a French citizen of Algerian descent who was wanted by an international arrest warrant, issued by French judicial authorities, said the National Police (DGSN) on Tuesday.
The warrant was issued for his involvement in the abduction and physical assault of a person with disabilities, inflicting serious injuries including fractures, the official source added.
The suspect was held in provisional custody pending extradition proceedings, at which time French authorities were informed of the arrest.
The arrest of the foreigner is part of DGSN efforts to strengthen international security cooperation and prosecute individuals wanted on suspicion of committing transnational crimes.
