Agadir: DGSN reports arrest of wanted Swedish national

Judicial police arrested a 22-year-old Swedish national in Agadir on 13 October 2026, according to a DGSN statement reported by TelQuel. Swedish judicial authorities were seeking him to enforce a prison sentence.

The DGSN says officers detained him in Talborjt using intelligence from the DGST. Its statement describes an Interpol red notice connected to cases involving drug trafficking, attempted murder and participation in a criminal gang.

The DGSN says extradition proceedings began on instructions from the prosecutor and that Interpol's Rabat bureau is to notify its Swedish counterpart. Morocco World News and 9 Avril also report a favourable response from Sweden's national police leadership to this cooperation.
