Casablanca Notary Sentenced to 3 Years for Theft and Breach of Trust

Sources cited by the newspaper Al Massae state that this notary will also have to pay the sum of 1.5 million dirhams in damages to the civil parties for this case of "theft, fraud and breach of trust" that affected several clients.

However, the court decided to acquit the notary of the charges of fraud but sentenced her to pay between 50,000 and 350,000 dirhams to eight of her victims.

Two years ago, another notary woman had also been sentenced to 5 years in prison, still in Casablanca, for having defrauded some 180 clients. The damage was estimated at the time at several tens of millions of dirhams. For each case handled, the fraudulent notary demanded the sum of 50,000 dirhams from her clients, but it turned out that all the contracts were fake.
