Moroccan Businesswoman Released After Paying $4.2 Million for Bounced Check

The Moroccan businesswoman Hind Achabi left the prison where she has been incarcerated for nearly a month for a dark story of a bounced check.

Cited by the Goud site, her lawyer says that his client left the Oukacha prison in Casablanca after paying the sum of 42 million dirhams, the amount of this check that would have been signed in 2016 in the name of her company, the "Dalia Company" and not in her personal name. At that time, Achabi had just given birth and had entrusted, she says, her husband Karim Bennani to use it in case of need for the management of the airline company.

At the beginning of February, the latter had presented himself to a BMCE agency to cash the check, explained his lawyer, revealing that it is the husband who filed the complaint after learning that the check was without provision. A few days later, she was arrested by the police and then placed in detention.

Through her lawyer, she had announced that she wanted to file a complaint against her husband for fraud and breach of trust.
