Extradition lawful

* A Saudi official ‘wanted by Interpol’ was arrested in Morocco and extradited in 2015 ‘in full compliance with the law’, an unnamed government source said on Friday. Turki al-Saud was arrested at Casablanca Airport on November 11, 2015 on his way to Paris on an ‘international warrant issued (the same day) by Riyadh for disrupting public order via the Internet and financial crimes’, the source said. Bin Bandar, a former high-ranking Saudi police officer, was extradited to Saudi Arabia the next day ‘in compliance with legal provisions’, the same Moroccan government source said, requesting anonymity.
