At the end of the investigation conducted by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the accused were arrested and sentenced.

In addition to the main defendant, two other accomplices, including a police officer and a police officer, were sentenced to 4 months in prison.

This case broke out following a video that went viral on social media. It showed an individual in the middle of negotiating a reduced sentence for a defendant, in exchange for a bribe of several thousand dirhams.

At the hearing, the defendant had claimed that the negotiation did not concern the judge but rather the lawyer.
