Morocco was elected on Thursday 05 June to the position of vice chair of Interpol’s Global Cybercrime Expert Group (GCEG), during a session held at the headquarters of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) in Lyon.
Divisional Commissioner Leïla Zouine, head of the cybercrime division at Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), was elected to the post, representing the Kingdom at the GCEG.
Zouine was appointed to the position during the expert group’s first annual meeting, held on June 4-5 at Interpol’s General Secretariat in Lyon. The session included the election of the leadership of the Global Cybercrime Expert Group.
In her new role, Zouine will serve as vice chair responsible for “empowerment,” which focuses on developing mechanisms, procedures, and action plans to provide cybercrime victims with legal and technical protection, while equipping police and law enforcement agencies with the necessary skills for investigation and enforcement in technology-related crime.
The election reflects the DGSN’s commitment to strengthening international multilateral security and police cooperation, and highlights the advanced capabilities of Morocco’s cybercrime units at both regional and international levels.
