Casablanca – Elements of the judicial police service in Casablanca managed, this Thursday, to arrest a French citizen of Algerian origin, 38 years old, who is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities, for the execution of a prison sentence after his conviction in a case related to serious assault and battery.
