On Thursday and Friday, six Algerian nationals were arrested by the National Brigade of the Judicial Police for document falsification, identity theft, and drug trafficking. Among them, one individual was listed by Interpol.
These arrests were carried out based on precise information provided by the services of the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance.
National security services had previously detained an Algerian national who was the subject of a Red Notice issued by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) at the request of Algerian judicial authorities, on suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking within a criminal organization. Forged residence permits were found in his possession.
The searches and investigations conducted in connection with this case led to the arrest of five other Algerian nationals suspected of being involved in these criminal activities.
The initial elements of the investigation indicate that they would have falsified residence permits and criminal records issued by the judicial authorities of their country, as well as forged documents emanating from fictitious companies, with the aim of using them fraudulently to obtain residence cards in Morocco and to evade international legal proceedings.
