Police elements apprehended a 38-year-old Danish citizen upon his arrival at Mohammed V International Airport on Thursday morning, in a joint operation between Moroccan National Police Services (DGSN) and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
He is the subject of a red alert for fugitives, according to a search of the Interpol databases.
The arrest was carried out in light of an Interpol wanted notice issued in connection with an international drug trafficking case, at the request of Danish judicial authorities.
Under the supervision of the competent judicial authorities, the Danish national is currently under the jurisdiction of police forces in Casablanca, where he will undergo further examinations preceding his extradition procedure.
