Moroccan Bank Manager on Trial for $1.1 Million Embezzlement Scheme

The trial of a major banking scandal began this week in the Criminal Chamber responsible for financial crimes in Rabat. Accused of embezzlement, the manager of a bank branch in Tangier and his collaborator are suspected of having misappropriated nearly 11 million dirhams.
According to the statements of the central director of the banking institution, the branch manager and his collaborator emptied the contents of nearly 116 bank accounts, in addition to 3 checks worth 320,000 dirhams.
Before the court, the central director provided the technical data proving that there had indeed been fraudulent access to the bank customers’ accounts.
As the trial has been postponed to next week, the judge has kept the two defendants in pre-trial detention in the local prison of Salé, pending the pleadings of the various parties concerned.
