(Story update) Morocco king revokes paedophile's pardon

Morocco king revokes paedophile's pardon

King Mohamed VI of Morocco has revoked a pardon granted to a Spanish serial paedophile whose release sparked angry protests in the kingdom, a palace statement said.

The king "has decided to withdraw the pardon previously accorded to Daniel Galvan Fina," said the text of the statement, published by the official MAP news agency on Sunday.

Although several media reports have said that Fina has left the country, the agency said the justice minister would discuss with Madrid "the next step after the pardon's revocation."

On Saturday, the king said he did not know the gravity of the man's crimes, and ordered an investigation into his release.
