Police in the northern city of Tangier arrested, Tuesday, a 30-year-old French national, subject to an international arrest warrant issued by French judicial authorities in a case related to an homicide by an organized criminal network.

The checking operation of the suspect in the database of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) revealed that he is also subject to Interpol’s red notice in a case related to the destruction of criminal evidence and non-reporting of an act constituting a crime, the national police (DGSN) said in a statement.
