Moroccan 'Baron' avoids Dutch court, faces harsher sentence in Morocco
A Moroccan court sentenced a 54-year-old Moroccan-Dutch man to 8 years in prison and a fine of nearly 8,000 euros after he was convicted of drug trafficking and money laundering. Dutch authorities had previously sentenced him in April 2022 to 46 months, after which he went into hiding and traveled to Morocco, leading to the activation of judicial cooperation between the two countries. His location was identified and he was detained in Morocco, where legal proceedings against him continued. Following coordination between the authorities, he was not deported to the Netherlands, which had requested him to serve more than 1,200 days of his sentence.
