The suspect was arrested in Casablanca, a security source indicated, noting that a check in the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) database revealed that he was the subject of a red notice issued for the execution of a prison sentence, handed down against him in mid-2024 by the French justice system in a case involving the assault of several people with a bladed weapon.
