Moroccan police have arrested a 21-year-old Portuguese fugitive wanted by French authorities for a murder investigation in Bordeaux. The man was detained in Marrakech on November 3 after intelligence was passed to Morocco’s General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, DGST. French judicial authorities suspect he took part, along with others, in a killing in Bordeaux in December 2025 tied to a settling of scores between drug-trafficking networks. The suspect was living in Morocco without legal residency. He was wanted under an international arrest warrant, and checks against Interpol’s database showed that Interpol’s Paris bureau was seeking him on suspicion of murder, forming a criminal gang, and illegally possessing and transporting firearms. Extradition proceedings have begun through the competent public prosecutor’s office. Interpol Rabat, part of Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security, has been tasked with notifying the French counterpart about the arrest. He is currently in Moroccan custody as the case moves forward.
