Bank Manager in Morocco Faces Trial for Alleged Client Fund Embezzlement

The director of a [Banque Populaire] agency in Tangier has just been referred to the Court of Appeal in Rabat, for his alleged involvement in a case of embezzlement, breach of trust and forgery of official documents.
According to the daily Assabah, the man, prosecuted in pre-trial detention, would be the source of various embezzlements and offenses, noted on several client accounts by the regional commission responsible for auditing and controlling accounts.
Due to the significant sums involved, the case was brought before the courts by the bank’s general inspection. For the Attorney General, evidence gathered by the brigade against financial crime was sufficient to incriminate the agency director.
The latter was brought before the chamber of financial crimes near the Court of Appeal in Rabat, to answer the three counts of indictment brought against him by the Attorney General’s Office.
