The man had been wanted and was arrested at an airport near Tangier on Monday, police told TT.
Moroccan police have done a really good job here, says Anders Wiberg, head of the international unit at Noa.
The man is considered to be a leading actor in a violent criminal network based in Sweden.
He is part of a network that handles large-scale drug trafficking, primarily in southern Sweden, but there are also connections to central Sweden.
Extradition to Sweden will be requested.
