Following the thorough search underwent by the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Quai d’Orsay’s spokesman Romain Nadal, announced Friday at a press conference, that the head of French diplomacy Laurent Fabius, called Salahedine Mezouar.
Fabius apologized to Mezouar on behalf of the French Authorities.
En route to Morocco from The Hague, Mezouar had a one-hour stop in Paris during which despite his diplomatic passport, the Minister and his luggage were subjected to a thorough search.
This incident adds salt to injury in already tense relations between Morocco and France, after the complaints of torture in France against the head of the Moroccan secret services, Abdellatif Hammouchi, where Moroccan authorities have chosen to suspend their judicial cooperation with France.
