To combat cross-border crime, Morocco and Saudi Arabia signed three new agreements in Riyadh on Wednesday, focusing on bolstering collaboration in criminal justice, as reported by Morocco World News.
These agreements establish procedures for extradition, emphasize the exchange of information related to investigations, prosecutions, and trials, and define terms for transferring convicts back to their home countries.
According to Morocco's Ministry of Justice, the agreements aim to address various types of crimes while promoting the rehabilitation of convicts by enabling them to serve their sentences in their home countries, closer to their families.
