Marrakech: Sidewalks and wrong-way driving, the reckless driver who almost ran over a police officer arrested
The Marrakech police prefecture proceeded, on Saturday, January 17, to the arrest of a 36-year-old VTC driver operating for the InDrive application. The man is suspected of transporting passengers without authorization, refusing to comply, and deliberately endangering the lives of others during a traffic stop.
The police services caught the suspect in the act of unauthorized transportation.

He was subjected to a judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office in order to clarify the circumstances and details of the case.
