Casablanca Couple Arrested for Scamming 21 Job Seekers with Fake Overseas Contracts

According to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), some 21 people had filed a complaint against the two suspects to whom they had handed over sums ranging from 5,000 to 70,000 dirhams, in exchange for the promise of receiving job contracts abroad.

A search of the couple’s home, who are 48 and 29 years old, made it possible to seize copies of national identity cards, seven passports and debt acknowledgments in the name of the victims.

An investigation has been opened under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, in order to determine the various criminal acts in which the couple is involved.
