On Wednesday, April 29th, authorities in Marrakech successfully apprehended a 34-year-old French national of Lebanese descent, who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities. The suspect was detained in the city of Marrakech, where a check against the International Criminal Police Organization's (Interpol) database revealed that she was wanted on an international level due to a Red Notice requested by the National Central Bureau in Paris. The allegations pertain to her suspected involvement in a criminal network engaged in fraud and manipulation of automated banking data systems.
According to preliminary investigation details, members of this criminal organization would contact victims in France and Canada via telephone, impersonating bank employees to unlawfully acquire their banking information. This fraudulent activity led to significant financial theft, totaling approximately 640,000 euros taken from the victims' accounts. The suspect is now undergoing extradition procedures mandated by the relevant public prosecutor's office, while the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat has been tasked with notifying their French counterparts regarding the arrest in connection with the extradition process.
This arrest underscores the commitment of Moroccan security services to enhance international security cooperation, particularly in pursuing and apprehending individuals wanted for transnational crime.
