Morocco Blocks Extradition of Crypto Kidnapping Suspect to France

While there is an extradition agreement between Morocco and France that came into effect in 2011, neither Rabat nor Paris accept the extradition of their nationals. The extradition of Franco-Moroccan Badiss Mohamed Bajjou, arrested in Tangier (Morocco) on June 3 and suspected of being the mastermind behind "cryptorapts" to France, is therefore impossible. It is still possible that he may serve a potential sentence in French prisons.
