In his efforts to seek assistance, he has reached out to both French President \u00a0Emmanuel Macron\u00a0 and Moroccan King \u00a0Mohammed VI\u00a0. Cl\u00e9ment, who was 29 at the time of his disappearance and held dual French and Spanish citizenship, had moved into an apartment near the sea in Rabat and was preparing to launch a \u00a0pizzeria\u00a0. Tragically, he vanished right before signing a lease on April 15, 2024, leaving his family in utter \u00a0bewilderment\u00a0.<\/p>\n<div class=\"extemb-container\">\n<blockquote data-class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">[AVIS DE RECHERCHE] &#8211; ARPD file<br \/>Cl\u00e9ment Besneville, 30, disappeared in Rabat &#8211; Morocco on April 10, 2024<br \/>Released from his home, avenue Laalou, Ocean district in Rabat, is never reappeared.<br \/> U2B07  UFE0F <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tZrKn7MpVV\">pic.twitter.com\/tzrkn7mpv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; arpd.fr (@arpd_fr) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/arpd_fr\/status\/1927677397609881846?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">May 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>His family reported his disappearance on April 25, 2024, to the local gendarmerie in \u00a0C\u00e9ly-en-Bi\u00e8re, France\u00a0. The case was subsequently handed over to the French authorities, who in turn passed it on to their Moroccan counterparts.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"txt-int\">His Personal Effects Found in His Apartment<\/h2>\n<p>According to the \u00a0Rabat Regional Judicial Police Brigade (BRPJ)\u00a0, Cl\u00e9ment was last seen around 10:30 p.m. on April 10. His apartment was found intact, with all of his personal belongings, including identity documents, a laptop, a mobile phone, cash, and his glasses, still present. This eerie discovery heightens concerns regarding his well-being. In July 2024, the investigation transitioned to the \u00a0National Brigade of the Judicial Police (BNPJ)\u00a0 in Casablanca, which assured Cl\u00e9ment&#8217;s father that the investigation was ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>On the French front, a lawyer representing the family filed a complaint for \u00a0kidnapping\u00a0 and unlawful confinement with the Melun prosecution office in early March 2025. The French prosecution has since communicated to AFP that they have forwarded their findings to the Moroccan authorities as part of a request for \u00a0international mutual assistance\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Didier has conveyed his frustration, stating, \u201cI have no support at all,\u201d while lamenting the emotional toll that the search has taken over the past \u00a014 months\u00a0. In an effort to garner more aid, he reached out on Thursday to the \u00a0National Association Tiphaine for the Disappeared Abroad (Antred)\u00a0, an organization committed to helping families of missing individuals. This organization was established by the family of \u00a0Tiphaine V\u00e9ron\u00a0, who also vanished in 2018 while in \u00a0Japan\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The case continues to evoke strong sentiments in France and Morocco, as both nations grapple with the \u00a0apprehension\u00a0 that such a \u00a0disappearance\u00a0 entails. The quest for answers remains both a personal struggle for Cl\u00e9ment\u2019s family and a matter of \u00a0public interest\u00a0, emphasizing the critical need for international cooperation in cases of missing persons. As Didier Besneville continues to advocate for his son, the global community watches and hopes for a \u00a0resolution\u00a0 to this tragic situation.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The father of Cl\u00e9ment Besneville, a young Frenchman who disappeared in April 2024 in Rabat, launched a call to the Moroccan and French authorities on June 20, 2025, to relaunch research efforts.
