“We are further stepping up the joint fight against international organized crime,” said Yesilgöz, praising the good relationship with Morocco. There has also been a legal assistance treaty with the country for more than ten years, which allows, among other things, a suspect in Morocco to be prosecuted for crimes he allegedly committed in the Netherlands.
