Morocco's government on Thursday denied it had requested legal immunity for its officials on French soil as a condition of resuming judicial cooperation agreements with Paris after a year-long dispute. Government sources told Reuters on Monday Morocco wanted guarantees of immunity from prosecution in France before it would revive such accords. "I deny it categorically," Mustapha Khalfi, communication minister and government spokesman told Reuters on Thursday, without elaborating. Morocco's foreign minister Salaheddine Mezouar cancelled a visit planned for Friday to Paris to discuss the dispute over judicial and security cooperation agreements.
