The inquiries and investigations carried out in the context of this case made it possible to arrest the suspect in Meknes in the act of usurping a false Belgian identity, indicates the General Directorate of National Security in a statement, noting that the accused had in his possession false Belgian papers and identity documents that he used to move around and travel with the aim of evading the international search warrant issued against him.

It emerges from the available information that the arrested foreigner was 43 years old and was the subject of an international search and an Interpol red notice at the request of the Dutch judicial authorities, for his alleged involvement in an attempted voluntary homicide using a firearm inside the territory of the Netherlands in the context of the activities of an organised crime network, it is specified.

The foreign national has been placed in police custody for the needs of the judicial investigation ordered by the competent public prosecutor's office to elucidate all the ins and outs of this case, which is part of the strengthening by the Moroccan security services of international security cooperation relations and the tracking of foreign persons wanted for transnational crime cases, the same source concludes.
