Colombian Ex-Military Pilot Found Dead on Moroccan Coast After Disappearance
Marrakech – The body of Juan Pablo Rivera Sánchez, a 47-year-old former Colombian Air Force pilot who disappeared in Algeciras, Spain, has been found on the coast of Morocco. Rivera, who was last seen on June 30, had been missing for several weeks before the tragic discovery on July 22. According to Spanish media, initial evidence suggests Rivera died in an aircraft accident. His body was found partially in and partially out of the water on a Moroccan beach. Forensic studies are currently underway to determine the exact cause of death. Rivera had traveled to Spain for work purposes. His brother, Jairo Hernán Rivera Sánchez, explained that Juan Pablo worked for a specialized aircraft restoration company based in Honduras. 'He worked on helicopters. He died doing what he loved. He was part of a company in Honduras, the only one that could restore aircraft worldwide. That's why he traveled to Spain, for a test,' Jairo told Colombian newspaper La Nación.

Despite living in Honduras for years due to his work, his family remained in Pitalito, where they hope to hold his funeral. One hypothesis being investigated is that Rivera may have jumped from the aircraft and swam injured to shore, where he ultimately died. 'The body was at the edge of the sea, partly outside and partly inside. We still don't know if he managed to get out injured to that point,' his brother explained. The search for Rivera began when he stopped communicating with his family on June 24. The organization SOS Desaparecidos issued an official alert on July 3 after several days without contact. The alert indicated he might have initially traveled to Granada, though this was not confirmed. Neither the aircraft nor any of Rivera's colleagues have been located yet. The Colombian Embassy in Spain had been cooperating with authorities in Algeciras in the search efforts. Rivera is remembered as 'an excellent military man, very loved by those who knew him. He was a father of two children and a dedicated husband. Always committed to his work,' according to his brother. His family is now working on repatriation procedures to bring his body back to Colombia for a proper farewell in his hometown. Tags: Colombian citizenMoroccan coast

Israeli businessman arrested in Casablanca for forex scam targeting Germans
Last week, an Israeli businessman was arrested at Casablanca Airport under an international arrest warrant issued by Germany. He is suspected of involvement in a forex trading scam that defrauded thousands of German citizens, with losses amounting to tens of millions of euros. The suspect had traveled to Morocco from Dubai, where he had been vacationing with his two young children. After his arrest and referral for investigation, a relative stepped in to care for the children. A Moroccan security source told the Hebrew news site Mako that «the individual was caught off guard when informed of the Interpol-issued arrest warrant. Authorities had been building a case against him for years and were simply waiting for him to leave Dubai in order to apprehend him». The source added that his extradition to German authorities is expected in the coming days.
