Moroccan police arrested Mohamed Aissa on January 27 on suspicion of theft. The man was on the ‘most wanted’ list of the federal police in Belgium, because he was sentenced to life imprisonment here.
Aissa was convicted by the Assize Court on September 16, 2014 for acts committed on May 20, 2011 in Brussels. Two men committed a violent theft in an apartment on Bergstraat, during which the victim died from her injuries. One of the perpetrators was caught, Mohammed Aissa was able to flee. Since his conviction, he has been tracked down by our country: in 2016 he was even put on the ‘most wanted’ list of the federal police.
The Moroccan police arrested the man two weeks ago on suspicion of theft. “He has been in prison in Tangier ever since,” the federal police announced.
It is not clear whether Morocco will hand the man over to our country: Morocco does not extradite its own nationals. “On March 1, he must appear before a judge who will decide on further steps, taking into account the sentence of life imprisonment that the man received in Belgium,” the federal police said.
