Moroccan and Swedish authorities have expanded their security cooperation to address transnational organized crime through high-profile arrests and extraditions. Following the arrest of a 27-year-old Swedish national in Tangier on an Interpol Red Notice, Morocco extradited two Swedish nationals to Sweden. One suspect, 28-year-old Pakå Bakir, is alleged to have led a wholesale narcotics network supplying criminal organizations in Sweden and the Nordic region. His activities are linked to major seizures in early 2025 involving 94 kg of 3-CMC and 56 kg of amphetamines. Bakir also faces charges of aggravated attempted extortion. The second extradited suspect, aged 42, is accused of leadership roles in cannabis smuggling operations between 2020 and 2021. In a separate development, Tangier police arrested Ali Namdar, a Swedish national wanted by Interpol. Namdar is suspected of involvement in serious violent crimes in Sweden, including multiple attempted murders, and is linked to the ‘Foxtrot’ criminal organization. He is sought in connection with approximately 18 crimes across various Swedish cities and in Norway, including explosions and grenade attacks. Moroccan authorities have also opened an investigation into Namdar for identity theft and forgery. Security cooperation has continued to yield results with the arrest of a 31-year-old Swedish national from Malmö in Agadir.
