MASEN CEO Bakkoury Returns to Public Duties After Months of Confinement

Confined to his home for months, Mustapha Bakkoury, CEO of the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN) seems to have resumed his duties. He had been prohibited from leaving the national territory to Dubai as part of the preparations for the Moroccan section for the 2020 World Expo.

Accompanied by Wali Saïd Ahmidouch, representative of the supervisory authority (Interior), the former boss of the CDG went on Monday, July 5, 2021 to the headquarters of the Casablanca-Settat region of which he is the president, reports Maghreb Intelligence. He was there to chair an ordinary session of the regional council. Public media such as SNRT and the MAP agency also covered this outing by Mustapha Bakkoury.

Does this mean that King Mohammed VI is no longer angry with the MASEN boss? Last April, as he was about to take a flight to the United Arab Emirates as part of the preparations for the Moroccan section of the 2020 World Expo, he was prohibited from leaving Moroccan territory. The king’s anger would be at the origin of this ban. Mustapha Bakkoury is suspected of mismanagement and embezzlement and of "intelligence with a foreign state" which could be Germany.
