Félix Bingui, a figure in narco-banditry, was arrested on Friday in Morocco. He had found refuge in the country for several months.

“One of the biggest Marseille drug traffickers has been arrested in Morocco,” wrote the Minister of the Interior on X, adding: “A big blow has been dealt today today to narcobanditism thanks to our cooperation with the Moroccan authorities, whom I thank," said Gérald Darmanin.
