Moroccan Police Arrest Interpol-Listed 54-Year-Old Dutch National in Martil

Moroccan police in the coastal town of Martil arrested a 54-year-old Dutch national on February 24, 2026, after authorities confirmed the man was listed in the Interpol database and was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the Netherlands. The detention was carried out by local officers in Martil, a seaside municipality where the suspect had been located.

Moroccan authorities provided confirmation that the suspect’s name appears in Interpol’s records and that the arrest corresponded to an outstanding warrant issued by Dutch authorities. The paperwork tying the arrest to the Netherlands identified the case as an international matter, prompting the involvement of both local Moroccan police and the Interpol listing that flagged the individual to investigators on the ground.

The suspect is 54 years old and holds Dutch nationality, details supplied by Moroccan officials at the scene in Martil. Police took the man into custody on February 24 and processed him under local detention procedures; the Interpol listing and the Dutch warrant were cited as the legal basis for the arrest. No personal name, charge specifics, or further identifying details were released alongside the confirmation of the Interpol listing.

With the suspect already flagged in an international database and an arrest warrant originating in the Netherlands, the case now links law enforcement in Martil to cross-border judicial channels. Authorities confirmed the involvement of the Interpol database and the Dutch warrant as central components of the action on February 24, but they have provided only those particulars so far. The arrest stands as a direct enforcement of an international notice in a coastal Moroccan municipality, and it will be followed by the applicable judicial and administrative steps between Moroccan and Dutch authorities.
