Kuwait Offers to Extradite Citizen Accused of Assaulting Minor in Morocco

The Kuwaiti diplomat, Abdellatif Al yahya, added that his embassy was defamed by the defamatory remarks of the Moroccan press, specifying that the case has been exaggerated.

Prosecuted for the rape of a minor in Marrakech, the 44-year-old Kuwaiti had taken advantage of his provisional release to leave Moroccan territory, citing an urgent surgical operation.

Although he had tried to reject any involvement in the case, the ambassador had argued that the medical certificate presented by the suspect "was issued five months after the incident and that the accused, who admitted the facts, met the young girl on social networks and did not know that she was a minor".
