Netherlands and Morocco sign treaty on criminal investigations

The Netherlands and Morocco will today sign a treaty designed at making it easier for the two countries to each other in criminal investigations.


For example, the agreement will make it possible for the Dutch and Moroccan police to ask for evidence or to question witnesses in each other’s countries, Nos tv said.
Justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin has described the treaty as a ‘breakthrough’.
Every year, the Netherlands asks Morocco to help it in hundreds of criminal investigations, usually to do with drugs smuggling, money laundering, violence or suspected terrorism.
