Moroccan Mayors Under Investigation: Tax Fraud Scandal Rocks Local Governments

Central audit commissions will be dispatched by the General Inspection of Territorial Administration (IGAT) in several local authorities spread across different provinces and regions of the kingdom in order to shed light on suspicions of tax fraud involving municipal presidents. They are said to have carried out serious manipulations in the local tax registers, in order to illegally exempt owners of sand and clay quarries that supply large brick and ceramic manufacturing plants, in clear and direct violation of the law.
