Flagrant délit de mensonge du magazine « Le Point »

This clarification follows an article published on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, the content of which caused astonishment among the security services. The DGSN thus specifies having "taken note, with great surprise, of the content of an article published by the French weekly Le Point in its edition of Wednesday, January 21, 2026". Contrary to what was written, no criminal act targeting the economic interests of citizens of sub-Saharan Africa has been recorded throughout the Moroccan territory.

To prevent the spread of fake news, the police services explain that they have closely monitored social networks throughout the duration of the competition. Many false information was already circulating on the internet, and the DGSN has taken care to systematically deny them through official press releases. The objective was to restore the truth with neutrality and to prevent unfounded rumors from creating a sense of insecurity.
