The police in the regional security delegation of Martil arrested a 54-year-old Dutch national on the evening of Monday, February 23, pursuant to an international arrest warrant issued by the judicial authorities in the Netherlands, on suspicion of involvement in fraud and money laundering cases.
The checks conducted by the security services through the database of Interpol revealed that the individual was subject to a red notice at the request of the National Central Bureau in The Hague, prompting his swift arrest and placement under extradition proceedings.
Initial investigation data suggest that the suspect was involved in defrauding 135 investors between 2022 and 2025, allegedly seizing a total of five million and 799 thousand euros. He is also suspected of laundering more than 470 thousand euros from the proceeds of these actions.
He has been subjected to extradition procedures under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor, while the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Rabat informed its counterpart in the Netherlands about the arrest and arranged the subsequent legal steps.
This arrest is part of the Moroccan security authorities’ efforts to enhance international security cooperation and track individuals wanted under search warrants related to transnational economic crime.
