A man known in French media as a "serial lover" was arrested at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport on November 28, 2025, as he was about to board a flight to Morocco. The suspect, identified as Morad R., was wanted by authorities for allegedly defrauding several women he met through dating apps.
According to reports from Le Parisien and BFMTV, the investigation was triggered by complaints from multiple women who accused him of emotional manipulation and financial fraud. The alleged scheme involved building romantic relationships before requesting money for fabricated emergencies.
Judicial sources indicate Morad R. was subject to a judicial investigation for "fraud in an organized gang" and "aggravated money laundering." His arrest at the airport prevented his planned departure from France.
The case highlights concerns about romance scams facilitated through online dating platforms. French authorities have warned the public about such schemes, which often target individuals seeking relationships.
