Moroccan prisoners sent back

Five Moroccans that were serving time in Belgian prisons have been flown back to Morocco to serve the rest of their sentences there. All five were in Belgium illegally when they committed the crimes for which they were imprisoned. This is the first time that Moroccan prisoners have been returned to serve the rest of their sentences in their homeland as part of a repatriation treaty that was signed by the Belgian and Moroccan authorities in 2007.
