Bank Teller Flees After $2 Million Theft from Moroccan Branch

A large-scale theft in a bank agency in M’diq. Following suspicions of a theft of more than 20 million dirhams - a sum of money withdrawn from clients’ accounts, but also from the agency’s own coffers - the general management of the bank entrusted an investigation to a team of general inspection. The latter discovered that a theft of more than 20 million dirhams had indeed been carried out within this establishment in the absence of the agency manager who had gone on vacation. An amount of more than 700,000 euros and other sums of money requested from the competent services to replenish the agency’s coffers have been stolen, it is specified.

The main suspect is a cashier. On the run since last Friday, he has already left the country to join his family abroad, reports Assabah. For the time being, the investigators of the general inspection are continuing their investigations to determine if the main accused committed this crime with the complicity of other people.
