A notary practicing in Casablanca is at the heart of a financial scandal. Currently on the run, she is accused of having embezzled several million dirhams.

F. S. K., a notary with more than 20 years of professional experience, remains untraceable and unreachable by phone after the outbreak of a case of embezzlement and fraud in which she is heavily involved, reports Assabah. She is said to have stolen 20 million dirhams. Among the victims, a minister and the president of a constitutional institution who entrusted the accused with the management of operations worth 100 million dirhams.

On the orders of the prosecutor of the king near the Court of Appeal of Casablanca, legal proceedings have been initiated against the notary. It is up to the first president of the Court of Appeal of Casablanca and the prosecutor of the king to initiate the procedure that will allow access to the office of the accused, currently closed. This opening of the office will take place in the presence of the president of the Regional Council of Notaries.
