DR ‹ › Police officers from the Regional Security Commission in M'diq-Fnideq arrested a 54-year-old Dutch national on Monday, February 23, in Martil, after he was found to be the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by judicial authorities in the Netherlands. A check of the suspect's identity through Interpol's database revealed that he was wanted internationally under a Red Notice issued at the request of the National Central Bureau in The Hague. He is suspected of involvement in fraud and money laundering. According to preliminary investigation findings, the suspect allegedly defrauded 135 investors between 2022 and 2025, embezzling a total of €5,799,000. He is also suspected of laundering more than €470,000 obtained from these criminal activities. The suspect has been placed under extradition proceedings in accordance with instructions from the competent public prosecutor. Morocco's National Central Bureau (Interpol Rabat), operating under the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), has notified its Dutch counterpart of the arrest as part of the extradition process. The arrest reflects Morocco's ongoing commitment to international security cooperation, particularly in tracking down and apprehending individuals wanted in cross-border crime cases.
