RABAT: A prominent Moroccan journalist and critic of the kingdom’s government was set to appear before a prosecutor on Monday for “spreading false information” after his arrest upon return to the country from Spain, his wife told AFP.

He holds dual French-Moroccan citizenship. “He called me at 7:00 p.m. and told me that upon arriving at Tangier airport, he was detained for spreading false information and undermining state institutions,” his wife Laura Feliu told AFP late on Sunday.
