Rabat – Police in Agadir arrested on Friday a 41-year-old Senegalese man wanted by authorities in his home country. 

Local judicial police carried out the arrest with support from Morocco’s General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance.

The suspect, wanted for murder and theft, was located in the rural area of Ait Amira, in the province of Chtouka Ait Baha. 

Police confirmed that a check in Interpol’s database revealed a red notice had been issued against him, signaling that he is wanted internationally.

Following his arrest, the suspect was placed under procedures for extradition, according to instructions from the public prosecutor. 

Morocco’s National Interpol Bureau in Rabat has informed Senegalese authorities about the arrest and is coordinating the extradition process.

Moroccan security services said that the arrest reflects the country’s commitment to international police cooperation, especially in tracking and capturing individuals wanted for crimes across borders.
