Casablanca Governor Dismissed Over Historic Preservation Failures
The Governor of the Prefecture of Arrondissements of Casablanca-Anfa, Rachid Afirat, has been relieved of his duties. He is accused of mismanaging the file on the preservation of the historical and architectural heritage of the city.
This file concerns the Villa Mauvillier, a building erected in the 1930s as well as other buildings belonging to the historical and architectural heritage of the economic capital, reports the MAP.
