The extraditions take place following a new agreement between Moroccan and Swedish police.

"We have seen several extraditions of serious criminal Swedes from Morocco in a short time. It is gratifying that two people whom we believe have had a significant impact on drug crime in the country can now be brought to justice," says Jonas Hemmar, deputy head of the international unit at Noa, in a press release.

One man is a 28-year-old who is said to have been the leader of a wholesale network suspected of selling drugs to criminal networks in Sweden and Nordic countries. The other man is a 42-year-old with a leading position in a criminal network that smuggled large quantities of cannabis into Sweden.

Both men will be remanded in custody.
