The allegations relayed by certain media and an official press agency of a neighboring country reporting arrest warrants against Moroccan security officials are “totally unfounded”, declared Friday the spokesperson for the Cypriot Ministry of Affairs foreigners, Theodoros Gotsis.
“The competent authorities of Cyprus, that is to say the judicial services and the police, confirm that these allegations are completely unfounded,” Mr. Gotsis insisted in a statement to the Moroccan presse agency MAP.
“This is fake news, no criminal case and no arrest warrant has been issued against the people to whom the said media refers,” he added. In a dispatch entitled “Senior Moroccan security officials are the subject of an international arrest warrant”, published on January 16, 2024, the APS relied on false information relayed by a Moroccan national who had subject to conviction by the Italian courts for fraud offenses.
