Can Moroccan authorities detain me based solely on an Interpol Red Notice?

Moroccan law enforcement can provisionally detain individuals flagged by Red Notices, but detention must comply with Morocco’s Code of Criminal Procedure. A Red Notice alone is not an arrest warrant — it is a request for location and provisional arrest pending extradition. Moroccan courts will assess whether the notice meets legal standards and whether the underlying charges are extraditable offences under bilateral treaties. Provisional detention typically cannot exceed 40 days without formal extradition proceedings. Challenging the legal basis early is critical to preventing prolonged detention.
