Strengthening Morocco-Denmark judicial cooperation discussed in Rabat

Ways and means of strengthening judicial cooperation between Morocco and Denmark were discussed at a meeting Wednesday in Rabat between Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi and Denmark’s Ambassador Berit Basse.

During the talks, Berit Basse welcomed the “outstanding quality” of judicial cooperation between the two countries, voicing her deep gratitude to Moroccan authorities for their responsiveness and effectiveness in securing the arrest of one of the main suspects in a high-profile criminal case in Denmark, the Ministry of Justice said in a press release.

The arrest was carried out in Tangier by Moroccan police, acting on the official request of Danish authorities, as part of close international judicial cooperation, the press release pointed out.

For his part, Ouahbi reaffirmed Morocco’s commitment to combating impunity, emphasizing that this arrest reflects the country’s determination to honor its international commitments and fight transnational crime.

The official also expressed Morocco’s willingness to strengthen cooperation mechanisms with Denmark to promote fair justice and ensure judicial security.

This meeting highlights the deep-rooted relations between Morocco and Denmark, as well as their shared commitment to expanding and consolidating areas of cooperation, particularly in the fight against crime and the promotion of justice and accountability values, the press release said.
