The information that Eric Laurent and Catherine Graciet were detained by French police was confirmed by the Paris prosecutor's office to AP.
The pair were arrested after a meeting with a Moroccan government representative at which they were given money, a source close to the French investigation told AFP. They are now being investigated on charges of attempted blackmail and extortion.
"A sum of money was handed over and accepted," the source said. The journalists were reportedly demanding €3 million ($3.4 million) to not publish a critical book about the king.
