One of the masterminds behind a recent kidnapping series in France has been arrested in Morocco for access to a crypto man.
At the request of French authorities, Morocco’s National Police and Intelligence Service arrested Badis Mohammad Amid Bajju-a 24-year-old French Moroccin man who was allegedly found in the possession of several blade weapons and numerous mobile phones.
French Minister of Justice, Jerder Darmanin, praised the arrest of French news outlet Lee Perin’s arrest June 4 in an X post.
“I thank Morocco for this arrest, which shows excellent judicial cooperation between our two countries, especially against organized crime,” said Dmanan.
Interpol issued a red notice for the arrest of Bajju in 2023, alleging that he was associated with other kidnapping and criminal activities.
