Casablanca Real Estate Scandal: Luxury Villas Built on Illegal Quarry Site

In Bouskoura, a locality located about thirty kilometers from Casablanca, a program simply does not comply with the law, although the advertising panels presenting this project are everywhere and the sale has already begun, indicates the daily Assabah.

According to the same newspaper, the legislation requires strict compliance with the rules of a rigorous specification, in particular concerning the use of a precise quality of stone for the construction. In view of the current texts, the construction site does not respect the 10-year waiting period between the closure of the quarry and the possibility of building real estate projects there. The shifting sand can also compromise the entire project, the same newspaper specifies.

At this rate, the construction site risks being stopped at any time and the surrounding dilapidated buildings can literally be swallowed up by the ground. In this case, the president of the municipality simply validated the project, without any fear. As for the developer, he was even authorized to launch the marketing.

This project belongs to a "front" real estate association that largely benefits from the advantages granted by law to this formula and would control some 120 hectares in Bouskoura.
